thanks Juan, I like paintings. thanks for making hte seals clearer, but actually these aren't the seals of greatest interest. nonetheless the first two are "Wen Zhengming" seals and follow the inscription that's supposed to be by Wen but really isn't, so these aren't important. the third and fifth seals are supposed to belong to the Qianlong emperor, and the fourth is supposed to belong to the Xuantong emperor, indicating that this painting was supposedly in the imperial collection for most of the 18th through the early 20th century. However, these aren't genuine imperial seals either. The seals I am most interested in are those along the right edge of the painting, near the figures. I believe there are two along the right edge to of the group of three male figures and another one somewhere around the bottom right corner. It's possible that the first two are by the actual painter, and the one at the bottom belongs to someone who owned the picture at some point. thanks

if you can photograph some of the details of the paintings at this level of resolution it might be revealing too. maybe the figures, some of the water, the vegetation, an interesting rock?
