The note 董耀四幅 says four drawings by 董耀, a famous Chinese painter.

Sorry, I don’t have enough time to explain it very clear today. All I can tell you is that the
calligraphy work in your second picture is really wonderful. It might be written by a calligrapher
during the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, whose name was 董燿 Dong3Yao4,
(as long as it isn’t a copycat.)

Thanks!

I can tell you that in the script, Mr. Dong compared his paintings with another painter in Yuan
Dynasty named Ni, Yu. Mr. Dong thought his taste was close to Mr. Ni. Mr. Dong also felt confident
that f his poems contained the essence of Mr. Tao Yuanming’s. (Mr. Tao Yuanming was also a
famous poet in Jin Dynasty.)

Oh, my! The painting is also very wonderful, which matches the calligraphy perfectly!

Thanks!

so is there any way you could date this painting? i have a few more ill be posting in the future,i
hope to hear from you again!

Do you mean if there is any way I can tell when this painting was painted? Sorry, I just can tell
you that Mr. Dong Yao was from 1800 to 1883. I can’t judge that whether it is a fake one by the
photo you offer. Can you tell me where you are, say which city and which country are you in, so
that I can guide you to some other people really in this field to give you more professional help?

Thanks!

Perfect! You got something perfect! Oh, dear! I highly recommend you contact an auction company
named “Southeby”, where I think you can get more professional help. Check the link below,
please.

Picture 1: 宋徽宗松溪远岫图真迹神品 the genuine perfect painting of “Pine Creek and
Mountain” by Emperor Huizong in Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong in Song Dynasty is also a
well-known famous painter in China.

Picture 2: see in picture3

Picture 3: 伖刘松年霜月寒鸦图于丙申夏日雪江赵登 印：雪江Mr. Zhao Deng, whose
alias was “Snow River” collected a painting named “Frosty Moon and Crow” by Mr. Liu
Songnian’ in the summer of the year BingShen in Song Dynasty. The seal: “Snow River”
Mr. Liu Song Nian was a royal painter in Song Dynasty. Mr. Zhao Deng might be an unknown scholar
in Song Dynasty. It seems that Mr. Zhao somehow got Mr. Liu’s painting.

Anyway, good luck! (And I think you are very lucky so far！)

Thanks!
