The painter cannot be identified, I think its a late 19 c. or early 2oth c. print.
The picture depicts the 50th (preultimate) episode
of Buddhist Zen Master Manjusri's Pictorial Guide
(Compiled in the Song Dynasty based on the Prajnaparamita sutra)

With regards,
I.Nagy

It is a painting not a print.

not signed or dated, this represents chapter 50 of Sudhana's Pilgrimage. Jan Fontein has written about this group of paintings, you might seek out his work on it.

The colophon is partly blurred. I could decipher the followings,
山西潞安府x府x康王妃x氏施
Handed out in the x mansion by a certain pricess x Kang in the Luan Prefecture of Shanxi Province.
The administrative division referred above is typical to the Qing Dynasty.

With regards,
