I have a beautiful hand painted still life on a scroll, signed lower left. Any help on the signature would be greatly appreciated. Pictures are attached. Thank you!

臣徐楊臣郎世寧合筆恭繪
Respectfully painted by your subjects Xu Yang and Lang Shinin

It indicates that the painting was a joint work by the two painters, Xu Yang and Lang Shinin.
Xu Yang a native of Suzhou, was an important court painter during the Qianlong era.
Lang Shining orig. Giuseppe Castiglione, an Italian Missionary painter served under three emperors; Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.

Museum reprint.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Very much appreciated!
