Subject:A painting/calligraphy I don't know too much about.
Posted By: Brian Sun, Jun 09, 2019 IP: 68.132.120.228

I have this painting that I just recently got, but I don't know too much about it and the seals and calligraphy are a bit hard for my amateur eye to read. If anyone knows anything about it or can offer possible interpretations I would appreciate it.

The post above was approved but none of the pictures showed up. I'll post them here.

Thank you very much for your response and help! I was able to get some of the calligraphy myself, but not all of it. It's good to finally have the whole thing, so thank you! I have two more seals that are on the painting, if you wouldn't mind helping out with those as well.

The other seals are just leisure seals,
1, 長楽 - Changle - Long pleasure
2、x壽 -  x shou - x long life (I can't read the first character)

With regards,
I. Nagy
