Subject:Bamboo, rocks and calligraphy
Posted By: Andrea Mon, Aug 05, 2019 IP: 95.239.125.199
Good morning. Can anyone help me with the deciphering of calligraphy and the identification of the author? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Andrea

Colophon reads,
八十八　甲子　88 (Years old in the) Year of Wood-Rat (1924)
鐡斎外史　- Tessai-gaishi
Seal,
富岡百錬　-　Tomioka Hyakuren

Tomioka Tessai 富岡鐡斎　1837-1924
Literati painter, calligrapher, Confucian scholar. His real name was Hyakuren, Tessai was his pseudonym.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Wow! Once again thank you Nagy. Doing a search with the "Tessai" and "bamboo" keywords I found this interesting page: http://www.kaikodo.com/index.php/exhibition/detail/sharpening_the_tools/1005
The painting that connoisseurs are "examining" bears some resemblance to the one I posted. A cordial greeting,
Andrea
