Reading of colophon,
壬午一月古歙畢渊明畫并題
In January of the Year of Water-Horse (1942)
Painting and Inscription by Gushe Bi Yuanming
Seal,
印 - Yin - Seal
Other seal(3rd pic.),
山谷 - Shangu (Mountain valley) - I do not have idea about it.
The upper part of the longer poem is missing from the 2nd picture. On the 1st picture from the second line mostly illegible. Anyway, the poem is about a small monkey.
Bi Yuanming 畢渊明 1907-1990
One of his pseudonyms was Gushe 古歙 (Old)
His father was Bi Botao 畢伯濤 one of the famous Eight Friends of Zhushan. The son has become quite famous, too.
With regards,
I.Nagy
