Hi,

Many thanks
Michael

It is Chinese.
行唫　　 -　Singing while taking a stroll
壬午歳畫　　-　Painted in the Year of Water-Horse (1942)
悲鴻返桂林　-　By Beihong back in Guilin
Upper seal,
悲鴻　　　　-　Beihong
Lower seal,
徐　　　　　-　Xu

Xu Beihong 徐悲鴻　1895-1953

It seems to be a repro.
If your scroll were original it would be worth of a little fortune.

With regards,
I.Nagy

I have had a closer look and it is a repro so alas no small fortune for me. But thanks to your translation, a wealth of knowledge for me about the artist!
Best
Michael
