I inherited a number of Chinese paintings from my grand-father who bought them in the south China seas in 1918-1919, and hope to find who the artists were from the seals.
1 Answer
the seal is read as “陳涓”, most likely is the name of the artist.
i would suggest try to find info about “潮州” & “陳涓” of early 20th century.

2I think the top-right of the 涓 character in the image has some problems when compared to authentic seal script.– dROOOzeJun 28, 2022 at 12:33

I am not an expert, this site provides a good starting point about the 涓 character in the image [link] (zidian.shufaai.com/shufazi/juan_2098_1.html) Jun 28, 2022 at 13:20

@dROOOze, the top right component is “expressed” as a stand-alone “口”, imo 😸 humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=口– 水巷孑蠻Jun 28, 2022 at 14:03
