Japanese Painting?

Hello Gang,

I know very little about Japanese paintings, and this one is no exception! If someone could offer some thoughts, I'd be grateful.

What I can say is that this was framed by a well known gallery in the 1970's. I've inspected it out of the frame and can see several iterations of conservation on the back. Patches, repairs, etc using very different materials- some more modern like conservation tape, others less modern. The paper is hand laid, the lines showing on the back along with some larger fibers. The silk is extremely thin and seemingly fine, though silk isn't my specialty either. Small repairs to the silk are visible from the back as well. I don't have the measurement of the painting in front of me but it's very roughly 24" by 40" I'm really guessing- I can measure it when I go home if it is important.

Any ideas who the figure is, what the inscription on his scroll reads etc, would be great. I assume he's some sort of literati or scholar. A time period would be swell as well.


I have a few more objects I'd love opinions about as well, I'll post them soon. Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.
