Subject:Chinese Painting Identification
Posted By: China Doll Thu, Apr 02, 2020 IP: 2600:1700:b392:4730:

One of two similar paintings from the same collection. Hoping someone can translate the writing. Any idea about who the artist might be or from what time-period? It appears to be original painting on silk mounted on board. Many thanks for your help !! Note the small deer in bottom right corner.

梅華居士畫法 - by the Brushwork of *Meihua (Plum Flower) Retired Scholar - Pseudonym -

* Qin Ying 仇英 1497-1552
Literati painter and calligrapher
Note, on your picture the name is written mistaken 仇瑛 !
*Shenjiang; old name for Shanghai
* Meihua (Plum Flower) Retired Scholar
I can't find this pseudonym anywhere.

Serious investigation would be needed to determine if it is genuine.

With regards,
I.Nagy
