Subject:A Chinese calligraphy painting
Posted By: Geoff Sat, May 15, 2021 IP: 2a00:23c7:ed05:7400:

Dear All,

This is the second painting which I bought from my local auctioneers. I'm hoping that this one has a happier theme than the last one I posted.

Please, would anyone attempt a translation?

I was drawn to the free style of calligraphy which is attractive to me. I have read that the meaning of the narrative has direct influence on how the artist would draw the Chinese characters. I wonder if that is he case here?

Thank you and best wishes,

Geoff

Signature and seal reads,
愛新覺羅毓山詹 
Aixinjuelo Yūzhān (Aisin Gioro Yü Chan)

(The last character 山+詹 should be compressed to
one character. The matrix of my PC doesn't contain this character)

Aixinjuelo Yuzhan 1926-2016
A calligrapher. Descendant of the Manchu royal family, the last Prince of Gong. He was the great-great grandson of the Daoguang Emperor Minning.

The first line of calligraphy reads,
閑夢遠南國正清秋....
Easy-going dreams are far away and the south of the country is in clear autumn....

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you, I. Nagy.

The background to these paintings is proving to be a lot more interesting than I'd ever imagined.

Best wishes,

Geoff
