The 14-character inscription can be translated as:
The thousand-house-village mountain faces the morning light quietly,
And faces the green hills above the riverside tower everyday
It is an excerpt from Qiu Xing (Autumn), a series of eight poems written by the famous poet Du Fu (712-770), expressing his deep emotions towards the suffering and chaos of life at the time. The two signatures belong to a Late Qing painter Jin Lian (1841-1909) of Suzhou, who was famous for his landscape and prunus blossoms paintings. He was part of a group known as ‘The Seven Artists of Yiyuan’, which includes Gu Zishan, Wu Changshuo, Gu Ruobo, Hu Sanqiao, Ni Mogeng and Wu Qiunong.
