Subject:Help with Chinese Goddess please
Posted By: Jez Fri, Jul 18, 2014 IP: 86.156.211.255

Hello
Please may I request help in trying to find out if my scroll painting depicts a well known Chinese goddess or is it just a Chinese maiden floating in the clouds?

My gut feeling is that its a feitan/apsara a buddhist and taoist spirit entity...The "goddess of fragrance"
Or it could be nongyue ascending to the heavens.
Could also be any number of female figures like guanyin atc.
Translation might be the best bet here

The signature and seals purport to be those of Zhang Daqian.
