<p>The &quot;signature&quot; is 观我 guan1 wo3; the seal is 昨观 zuo2 guan1.
However, both of them does not tell anything about the identity of the artist.</p>

<p>They are "观我", which means "look at me". My grandfather is a professional calligrapher. He writes lots of different works. And I learned a lot from him. Thank you. </p>

"Appreciate" is a more accurate translation than "look at" for "观".

<p>It could be 茗家. It seems to me that there is something above the 名.</p>
<p>As for the seal, my best bet is 歡都. There are many parts that are not really clear or overlap, so I'm not too sure for that.</p>

Starting from the seal script, the left character is either 歡 [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/WfHnT.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/WfHnT.png) or 觀 [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/pwW4n.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/pwW4n.png) (from 趙孟頫 as well).
