Thanks Julie. The seal belonged to a Chinese painter named Zhao Mengjian, who lived between 1199 and the mid 1260s. The text is the name of his art studio: 彝齋. He used the seal on several works that survive today, perhaps the best known being this small bouquet of pine, bamboo, and plum blossom, where it is the bottom of the two seals just to the left of the middle part of the bouquet: http://catalog.digitalarchives.tw/item/00/11/0e/25.html
A clearer image of the seal is here: https://www.9610.com/yin/tangsong/6/19.jpg
I had assumed that your picture would have been trying to be an early work but it seems that it is a quite recent screen that isn't trying to be a work of Zhao's.
