Hi!
I've got an old painting that was recovered from a Gallery that was closed down. I was hoping someone could help Identify it's age, artist and the material.
I'm very ignorant when it comes to Asian art, but it appears to be Chinese and thats as far as I've gotten...and may be wrong about that!
The Material has flaked off in a few spots and is very delicate, almost like a thin wood on top of fabric/linen (The fabric is visible where its flaked)
From the condition of it appears to be old but I cannot tell if its 1950 old or 1750 old.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures... I'm taking more before I wrap it back up if anyone wants to see better pictures.

Thanks an advance!

the photo of the woman is unfortunately horrible, but it looks like a decent picture from at least the 19th century. Falsely inscribed as being by Ming painter Chen Hongshou.
