Even though I find you incredibly rude and condescending I will use the good manners I was raised with and give you some advice, Take it or leave it. 1 search and contact a expert in 13th century Chinese hand-scroll this is a very specialized field and will cost you $$$$  2 if you wish not to spend any money to get "someone who actually KNOWS what there talking about not just a speculator" send your photos to Christie's auction house for an auction estimate  I will even be kind enough to give you the link  https://www.christies.com/services/auction-estimates/   

Thank you wendy, I apologies i was not trying to come off as being rude I was rather angry about a previous comment not yours and made a fast reply, thank you for your advice you have been very helpful.

Ok I am confused    you said in your last post "they had 5 artists working on the reprint" Then you said "if you were to buy them in the gift shop today, again a different painting it would run you between 300-600 dollars it seems"  Is it a reprint or a painting??  yes mart the link to the ones on ebay would be great to see as I am very confused.

Ok to clarify I am looking for someone who deals and knows about these specific hand scrolls.  This scroll is a reprinting of the original work done in the 13th century;  The museum had 5 artist working on the reprint,  There are scrolls similar but not the same on ebay and there are scrolls similar but not the same in the museum gift store, I am inquiring about my specific model the EASTERN GROVE.

IT is a reprint of the original painting.

I think they were limited to very few in the museum and only sold for a very short time because they had 5 artists working on the reprint and there are a few listed on ebay now in the 200-300 dollar range and if you were to buy them in the gift shop today, again a different painting it would run you between 300-600 dollars it seems

Hello,

I had recently come across a Chinese hand scroll that was given to me by my Chinese professor.  I have done some research and I believe it to have come from the National Palace Museum in Twain, China.  The Museum at one point sold them in their gift shop.  It is a remaking of the original scroll that was made during the 13th century for the ming dynasty.    Made by ch'iu ying during the MING dynasty

I have attached several photos of the actual scroll.

If any one knows more information or the value of this scroll please contact me,
thank you!
