Subject:Flying Insect Print. Grasshoppers?
Posted By: Amy A Fri, Nov 30, 2018 IP: 2602:306:bca5:6390:d

I'm trying to identify this artist, and haven't been able to find anything. This is a small piece, less than 5 by 7 inches. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The inscription,
鷄鳴 -  Cockcrow  - Dawn
十竹亝 - Shizu-zhai - Ten Bamboo Studio

This is a print from an unknown edition of the "Ten Bamboo Studio Manual of Painting and Calligraphy", an anthology of around 320 prints, including insects by 30 different artists, first published in 1633 in China.

With regards,
I.Nagy
