Posted By: rat Fri, May 29, 2015 should be Chinese, but painted outside of the PRC in summer 1973. not sure what the inscription reads exactly other than the date I've mentioned. it may be a sinified version of an English language name, Mary somebody, but it would be quite odd for a western painter to use a Chinese version of their western name to sign it with. Most non-Chinese who paint or write in Chinese style use whatever Chinese name they've adopted or been given by their teachers instead. |

Posted By: Elizabeth Tue, Jun 02, 2015 There is a long standing Chinese community in my city of Seattle. So it very likely that it was painted here but a local artist of Chinese descent. Or could be a caucasian person who has studied Chinese art. There is a lot of that around here too. I so appreciate your help! |
