I just purchased this Painting. Size is approximately 10 inches by 10 inches. It has a label on the back that says "Jinshang Peasant Painting Academy" in english.

There is what looks like an artist signature on the lower left of the painting, plus a stamp and some other writing on the back.

Can someone help with the translation of the chinese characters? And does anyone know the artist, and how desirable these Jinshan peasant paintings are?

Thanks

Wayne.

Sorry, that should have read "Jinshan Peasant Painting"

Artist's name is Xu Guibao, title is "threshing ground". these used to sell for as much as a couple hundred $ in the 1980s if I remember right, but I doubt there's much market for them today. this seems like a fairly minor example.

Thank you very much for the information rat.

Wayne.
