I would appreciate any help available in identifying the artist who painted the attached painting. The scroll is approximately 10” wide and 6’6” in length. I believe the painting was done on silk. Not sure. Due to the mounting and the dress of the subjects I believe the artist is Chinese. Again not sure. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Don`t be greedy for luxury and don`t worry about poverty
Take delight in leisure with your loved one(s)
Sublime quality makes you look the best
Being generous and frugal is like spring
