Subject:Chinese Painting Identification #2
Posted By: China Doll Thu, Apr 02, 2020 IP: 2600:1700:b392:4730:
Any help translating the writing would be most appreciated. This is second of two similar paintings on silk. Any idea of artist or time-period would also be of great help. Thanks !!

臨作 海上宛斎　-　by *Haishang Wanzhai -Pseudonym-

* Lu Huancheng 呂煥成　1630-1705
Known early Qing dynasty painter.
Note, the name is written mistaken 呂愌城！

＊Haishang Wanzhai - Unidentifiable pseudonym

It's striking that the painters' names are mistaken on both pictures !!

With regards,
I.Nagy
