Thank you for help I.Nagy! Not sure how you've done it but thank you! I tried to research what you've decoded but I can't find any similar pieces... are those seals old? Are those artists known at all?

Dear Bryan,
The finished picture with the title, colophon (date, signature, artist`s seal(s), leisure seal, inscription(s), collectors` seals etc. make the painting first time more understandable. If you do not show the entire picture with the signatures and
seals it`s difficult to say anything sure. The place of seals affixed on the picture have decisive meanings.
1, 子初宝璽 - Imperial Seal of Primary Treasure
(璽→鑑 in bell-cauldron script) - could be a fake collector`s seal
2, 張透 Zhang Tou - depending on the affixed place could be the artist's name or collector's name
3, 無量 - Certainly a leisure seal

With regards,
I.Nagy
