Hello,

Can someone please help to translate and date this painting?

It appears very old.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

In the Fifth Mid-Summer Lunar Month of the Qianlong Water-Sheep Year (1763)

Jin Tingbiao** of Wucheng

*Zhao Zhongmu 趙仲穆　a.k.a. Zhao Yang　趙雍　1290-1360

Dear I. Nagy,

Incredible! Thanks so much for the valuable information.

more pics of the painting. thanks

Should be a later 19th c. or early 20th c. imitation of Jin's work. He was a court painter and therefore did not typically include prominent inscriptions on his pictures. The examples of figures in landscape of his shown here (https://m.juhaohua.com/baike/3379.html) mostly feature the Qianlong emperor's inscriptions instead. (These pictures are mostly in the NPM and Palace Museums.) His work also didn't feature the outlined vegetation dots with bright mineral colors that appear in the mid-distance here and gave Qing popular pictures some zip.

Hello Rat,

Thank you very much for the additional valuable and insightful information on this painting.

I'm grateful!
