Anyone here read Chinese?

I have I have an old water color painting on my wall. It has these characters on it. Just wondering what they say....a year? The painters name? Perhaps a name for the drawing/ painting? Can anyone help me out?

Have you tried something like translate.yandex dot com?

It has a visual translator.

@SeaMaiden

I just, quickly, found the site by googling "Chinese to English translator." I use online translators a lot.

It looks as if you upload you picture.

ETA

I just saw that you tried it. Sorry. See if there's another one.

Another option: If there is no "Chinatown" where you live, go to your local museum. Translators are employed there.

@SeaMaiden Can you upload the photo to Google images? Sometimes it will show the painting with the words spelled in English. Here's what I did....a friend had a painting with Arabic writing. We uploaded the photo into Google Images, identical images popped up. We clicked on those images and there was an English translation. Now, this is a very long shot, but thought I'd share.

I will look into that! Thanks!
