Correction,
The inscription in the calligraphy was done by
Zhang Daqian.
(I hope this reading is correct)
老米書繇得勢語一悟入
庚申春季
Laomi's script gets the upperhand in uderstanding the ultimate essence of writing
Year of Metal-Monkey (1920) Springtime
Upper seal,
張爰印 - Seal of Zhang Yuan
Lower seal,
大千 - Daqian

Zhang Yuan was the original name of Zhang Daqian.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you so much, I. Naggy!

Now I've just found the rest of this scroll. It was sold at sotheby's

https://www.sothebys.com/zh/auctions/ecatalogue/2019/fine-classical-chinese-paintings-calligraphy-n10034/lot.1163.html

Any information about it's content?
Maybe it could be done in the style of Mi Fu?

芾頓首 再在無為一書 作廣州題
達未 衰老忽西去
In my rough translation,
Fu kowtows once again, and let things take their
own course in writting. Title made in Guangzhou.
Dawei, aging and ignoring going out of an acccident....

The title of scroll、
節臨米芾 "優畏帖" - A tally to the copy of Mi Fu's "Ample Awe" Calligraphy Model-Book

That is to say, it is a copy by Zhang Daqian
from the above mentioned calligraphy model-book.

I.Nagy
