The characters I can make out the best are the first two at the top right, a cyclical date of Xinhai, which in the context of the modern figural painting style would be 1971. This appears to be a painting of a generic "Beauty" (meiren) of a type that was turned out in great numbers for marketing by China Arts & Crafts stores and other outlets at a time when Chinese artists were working hard to try to help the country recover from economic problems relating to the Cultural Revolution.

Best regards,

Bill H.
