Actually, the inscription are the first two lines from a poem about immortals by Su Shi 1037-1101 poet, writer, painter and gourmet from the Northern Song Dynasty. I think the depicted "warrior" should be rather a fierce looking immortal.

山前江水流浩々
山上蒼々松柏老
歳在中庚卯年
素田冩
The river in front of mountains flows mightly
The mountains are green with old pine trees and cypresses
In the Year of Metal-Rabbit (2011)
Painted by Sùtián - Art-name
Upper seal,
素田 - Sùtián

Other seals are too smudged to read them.

Unidentifiable artist,

With regards,
I.Nagy
