Just bought this small, but very nice Chinese painting of mountains. Looks 18th c., but I would like help with tranlation / artist / period, please.
Frame has gallery seal of 'The A.B. Closson Jr. Co.', a very famous Chicago gallery that opened in 1866. According to history of the gallery (http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/01/05/biz_closson05timeline.html), Mr. Closson traveled to Europe buying antiques from 1907-1929.
This painting was probably acquired during one these 'antique' collecting trips.
Painted area measures 12" (32cm) x 10.75" (28cm)
Here's the link to the photos...
