Posted By: rat Tue, Apr 09, 2019 The painter's name is Zhang Beixi 張北溪. No date is given but this is a 20th century picture. Here the painter made the fundamental mistake of applying his seal at a 90 degree angle from vertical. |

Posted By: rat Tue, Apr 16, 2019 I agree that some care is required to get the seal orientation correct! It seems an uncommon error though, or at least I can't recall any other example on works I've paid attention to. |
