長 may refer to the fact that the painting is "long"?

@Barrie Reader There is an extra space between 長樂 and 畫. I am sure 長樂 is a name, However, I am only 80% sure it is stylized 長, so I put a question mark after it

<p>I was gifted this rather lovely silk painting back in the 1990s from a friend. It came with some Hokusai prints , thus this MAY be Japanese. In which case, please ignore me.</p>
<p>If however, it IS Chinese, I wondered if anyone could translate it for me?</p>
<p>Thank you so much! x</p>
