<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 5589500, member: 13761"]Many western artists borrowed the idea of 'chops' ("seals" is the more formal term), so you see them in western art from time to time. I think this is M. Winkler's copy of an Asian painting, perhaps with his signature also in some Chinese form - it looks like the seal replicates the calligraphed name in black, with the upper character a version of the rightmost character in the seal, and the lower character matching the one on the left - the seals usually use a very old style of pictogram - but I'm no expert. A google image search of the whole painting might turn something up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
