Hello! Debating on whether or not to buy this silk painting, but wanted to get a second opinion. The scroll is 75 inches long.

Inscription on strip ( above artwork),
晩江帆景　-　River at evening with shadows of sails

Title on artwork,
秋江帆景　-　Autumn river with shadows of sails
Date,
乙丑年　　-　In the Year of Wood-Buffalo (...1626,1685)
(At least these Wood-Buffalo years precede the Qianlong era)
Seal of artist,
主啓　　　-　*Zhuqi - Possibly courtesy name

Fake collector's seals,
嘉慶御覧之寶　-　Treasure seen by Emperor Jianqing
乾隆御覧之寶　-　Treasure seen by Emperor Qianlong

* Zhuqi 主啓　- I could find only a calligrapher Chian Chenqun (錢陳羣)　from the Qing Dynasty era with this courtesy name. Imperial collections do not collect works from unknown artists.

This is fake !

With regards,
I.Nagy

Dear Nagy,,
Thank you for the reply! I’m a little dismayed by the fact that it is a fake, but happy also because that means I didn’t get scammed out of my own shoes. Thank you for your time.

Mason

Thank you I. Nagy for pointing this out.
