Subject:I would love to know who this artist is......
Posted By: katrina Tue, Feb 17, 2015 IP: 107.15.131.63 I bought this picture about a year ago in a small antique shop I frequent. Simply because I fell in love with it - but it would be great to know who's responsible for such a beautiful picture. So any information you guys can provide would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for taking a look. |

Posted By: rat Wed, Feb 18, 2015 Sorry not to be more helpful, but I am having trouble reading the characters of the artist's name (leftmost column it seems). The title is "Spring Rains in the South" (literally, south of the river, referring to the general Wuxing/Suzhou/Hangzhou area, west and southwest of Shanghai). The seal is a pen name, seemingly "Keliang", but I can't make out a date or artist's name in the remaining inscription. Likely painted in the 1990s or later. |

Posted By: rat Sun, Feb 22, 2015 Haha, the seal I misread as "Keliang" should be "Keran", your painting being an imitation of similar works in Li Keran's style... sorry for the mistake, and thanks to John R |

Posted By: Trina Fri, Feb 20, 2015 Thank you to everyone for all the helpful information!!! You guys are great!! Now given all that information - if only it was the 'real' thing lol. But I'm sure it's probably a poster that's matted and framed lol. Still beautiful though. Thanks again everyone!!! Xoxo |
