Subject:ID Tiger Scroll Characters
Posted By: Linda L Thu, Dec 31, 2020 IP: 47.134.22.24

Please translate these characters for me. They are written on a scroll painting of a large tiger emerging from foilage. Thanks in advance!

Title,
虎逐三災 - *Tiger chases out *the three calamities
Signature abd seal,
千里 - Qianli - (Thousand li) - Given name or Pseudonym

* Refers to the capability of zodiac tiger
* Fire, water and wind

Qianli 千里, 
could be Wu Qianli 吴千里 1937-
Painter of Shantou.
Maybe, showing the whole picture would help.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I'm attaching another photo of the entire scroll which is about 51" long x 17" wide.

Dear Linda,
Unfortunately, I cannot discover any resemblance between Wu Qianli's available pictures and this picture.

With regards,
I.Nagy
