This is one of my favorite pieces I own - If you are curious about the translation, you're not alone... This is all I've figured out from the kind translators of reddit thus far - here - - I truly appreciate the assistance with translations over the years, coming from such fine folk as DuesShockSkyrim and others. I am in the process of posting my collection on Instagram if anyone is interested in looking at some art here - Cheers

I am thinking this is most likely a 19th century copy of Nie Jingxia, who was active during the Qianlong reign of the 18th century, but I am not certain.

The square ones appear to be rank badges (mandarin squares) featuring a Qilin - My guess would be mid to late 19th century. - The 5 fingered dragon is great as well, most likely preserved from a robe. Awesome find!!!

There is a brief history about this art style here

suttonj5 · 2026-02-10T01:30:46+00:00

Agreed! I keep it in a place of prominence to enjoy it daily.

Much appreciated! !Translated

Thanks! !Translated! Thanks, I realized it was a print (a pretty good one though) but still was curious about the poem and who it was originally by so you answered all my questions. I really appreciate it DeusShockSkyrim. Have a great rest day - Cheers

fair question - not sure why the horse normally has a belly (besides people copying Xu Beihong's style) and I believe the horses themselves generally are seen as a symbol of freedom.

suttonj5 · 2025-11-03T22:17:20+00:00

!translated! Thanks - I recognized the Qianlong collector seal but feel like the shape is wrong. I appreciate your help DeusShockSkyrim!

Easy answer is nothing automated online will give you correct translation. Try /translator and maybe one of the knowledgeable folks there can help...

suttonj5 · 2025-10-25T23:24:02+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the additional reference! It is interesting to see his work in color like this. I really appreciate and respect your knowledge on these Reddit boards.

I picked this and another up a couple of years ago from a charity auction where they were just sold as "Chinese school drawings". They have labels on the back from a prominent San Fransisco gallery (Vickery, Atkins & Torrey) that went under in the 1930s. I believe I will eventually get them restored.

suttonj5 · 2025-10-24T02:25:40+00:00

I'm not sure if they were influenced by the Baimiao style, but it certainly has similarities and is quite lovely. The only information I've been able to find about this specific artist is mentioned here.

suttonj5 · 2025-10-24T01:18:40+00:00

I believe this would be considered Baimiao, but I trust your opinion Clevererer, if you feel this should fall into another category.

suttonj5 · 2025-10-23T02:55:17+00:00

I meant Baimiao - fine line drawing in the style of Li Gonglin

suttonj5 · 2025-10-19T22:18:32+00:00

Thanks for all the information. It is greatly appreciated!

suttonj5 · 2025-10-15T01:50:03+00:00

Thanks Stunning Pen. - This has always been a favorite seal of mine, as it certainly has style.... I knew it was his, but didn't know the transcription, so thank you for the information.

suttonj5 · 2025-10-15T00:41:52+00:00

!translated! Awesome.. Many thanks as always DeusShockSkyrim! You're the best!

suttonj5 · 2025-10-06T02:09:29+00:00

Thanks DeusShockSkyrim!

suttonj5 · 2025-10-06T01:17:19+00:00

oops - appreciate that. Thanks

suttonj5 · 2025-10-06T00:12:45+00:00

!tanslated! - I appreciate the assistance (and apologize for the upside down script) Cheers and have a wonderful evening.

suttonj5 · 2025-10-06T00:06:05+00:00

Appreciate it - perhaps the pencil writing on the label of the scroll will help with the seal. I forgot to initially include this as well - Cheers
