Chinese, 20th century, the signatures supposedly by Dong Hao, a prominent calligrapher, and Yu Minzhong, a high ranking official, both of whom worked under the Qianlong emperor.

Thanks for the help, is there any way to tell if this is genuine or not?

Not sure exactly what you are asking. If you mean whether it's actually inscribed by the two officials whose named are signed to it, your best bet is to compare the calligraphy to genuine examples of their handwriting. However to me there's a lot of circumstantial evidence suggesting that the two officials did not sign this fan, which is otherwise certainly a genuine, hand-painted fan.
