Purported Wang Hui Scroll Painting

A friend of a friend asked my opinion on this and another scroll painting recently. I can't read all of the characters in the inscription, although the signature apparently is supposed to be that of the early Qing master Wang Hui [1632�1717]. There is a 'bingyin' cyclical date that would equate to the year 1686 in the Kangxi reign. The title appears to tead read 'Distant View of Mountains on the Horizon' [Ya shan yuan tiao].

My impression is that this probably is a copy or imitation, as the painting style doesn't greatly resemble other examples I found of Wang's work on-line. Also, there's an enigmatic seal impressed where I found recognizable marks with Wang's name on some of his other works.

This is not my usual cup of tea, so all opinions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill H.
