    I purchased this Chinese scroll painting a few years ago at a thrift store. It measures about 24" wide and 60"+ long and has a scene of mountains, waterfall, houses and a bridge with people. There's also a lot of writing and signature seals on it which I have no idea on what they say.

    I'm thinking it's 1960's but not sure. Does anyone know what the writing may say, who made it and how old it might be? Also, perhaps the location of the scene or anything else? Thanks for any info.

    Dated 1934 or 1994 (甲戌年) summer.

    Artist is 叶?亨 (Ye ? Heng), a chinese artist,however, I cannot read the second word so I cannot find any information of this artist.
    Painted in 蜀西白石(SuXi Baishi) white stone,west Sichuan province (However, I cannot find any information of this location either.)

    Looks to me like a reflection to Fan Kuang's very famous Travelers among Mountains and Streams. I can imagine though it's a popular topic in China.

    It's very much different from the Travelers among Mountains and Streams.
    This painting is freehand painting (painting in the impresionistic manner), normally the painting comes with poem or words expressing their thoughts and moods during the work.
    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is made by Fan Kuan (950-1030), which is a North Song Dynasty traditional landscape painting and it is more realistic painting style. (These traditional landscape painting are normally very epic, mountains are extremely magnificent.)

    Hi, thanks for your comment! Very interesting! The composition reminded me that painting - but of course, the style is very, very different.
