<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gckimm, post: 10270620, member: 83519&quot;]The inscription says &quot;Sending back the winter, spring is full of fragrance.&quot;&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry that I cannot make out the last character of the artist&#039;s signature.&nbsp; His name appears to be Ma De____ (馬德__) , so it is close to Ma Desheng 馬德升 but not that.&nbsp; As you noted, Ma Desheng&#039;s paintings are of a different style, very modern, while this painting looks very traditional.&nbsp; This painting is also dated.&nbsp; The Chinese calendar uses a cycle of 60 years, with each year in the cycle having a particular designation.&nbsp; The year 己卯 here could be 1999, 1939, or 1879.&nbsp; Since the painting looks rather new to me, my guess would be that it dates from 1999.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
