Subject:Please help identify this painting's artist
Posted By: JOSH Z Mon, Aug 12, 2019 IP: 67.110.215.128

I inherited this from my mother who purchased it from a teacher of hers who was an art collector. I have no idea if it's worth anything, especially given the fact we had it framed.

Thanks for your help.

First, thank you so much for interpreting these for me. That is greatly appreciated.

What does it mean towards the end when you say "Unidentifiable artist"? Isn't Wan Zheng the artist?

Also, what language are those characters?

Thanks again for all your help.

The inscription is written in Chinese.
The names of identifiable (recognized or professional) artists are listed in biographical dictionaries or can be found on the net. In this case I couldn't find the name anywhere.

With regards,
