4 crows on branch in front of moon

Rob sayers · August 2nd, 2010, 12:06 AM

Hi everyone. I am trying to find out about a picture I have seen online a few times but can't find any info on. The artist, place of origin, the year or century. It is 4 crows sitting on a branch on front of a full moon. From what I can see in the lower left of the picture there are some Chinese characters in red. So grateful for any help!!!! Many thanks, rob.

I found two that match your description, however, the first one I am not sure if it is three or four crows, on the right it looks as though two may be huddled together, conspiring, they haven't been able to decipher the seal. The second one, there is no Chinese seal that I can see nor a name of the artist.

Edit: Yes there is a very faint seal.

Eirene, thanks so much for your response. It is the second one with tidings of magpies written underneath. Looking at it on a big screen there are some characters in red in the lower left part of the picture. Thanks anyway, I can't seem to find any info on it though I've seen it in several places online. Kind regards, rob.

Yes I see the faint seal on the left. You could post the above link here -> http://asianart.com/phpforum/index.php One with a clearer copy of the seal would be much better.
