<p>[QUOTE="gckimm, post: 10271711, member: 83519"]Thank you for the close-up. Now I see more clearly that the second character is 華, which would make the name of the artist Ma Dehua. The name also appears in the upper seal. There is a famous Chinese artist (a woman) by the name of Ma Dehua; however, as you can see on this Chinese webpage about the artist, <a href="https://www.sohu.com/a/209462190_99937377" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sohu.com/a/209462190_99937377" rel="nofollow">https://www.sohu.com/a/209462190_99937377</a>, her style of painting is also more modern than the scroll that you have, plus her calligraphy style and signature are different.
