I have a piece if what appears time be an Asian painting, paint on wood. It measures 26 x 38". That is all I know about the piece. I'm looking for more info and a ballpark valuation if possible. Thank you so much for any info you can provide.

It is Chinese,
Inscription on the banner is a citation from the "Analects of Confucius; Zihan"
三軍可奪.....
Three armies can win the commander..... (and the husband can't win the ambition)
In modern interpretation,
A country's army can take its commander;....( but a man cannot force his ambition)

With regards,
I.Nagy
