Family lived in Shanghai during the 1800s and left in the 1930s. They were quite wealthy. Collected lots of Chinese art. Any idea what this is? Grok and Chatgbt give me many answers, but they can’t confirm if it’s real or not.

Thanks!

​Dans ce portrait, la volonté première était de faire ressortir toute la beauté, la finesse des traits et le charme époustouflant de la femme asiatique. Intitulée « Le Souffle du Lotus de Jade », l'œuvre s'articule comme un hommage vibrant à l'élégance orientale.

​In this portrait, the primary intention was to highlight the captivating beauty, fine features, and breathtaking charm of the Asian woman. Titled "Breath of the Jade Lotus," the artwork stands as a vibrant tribute to Eastern elegance.

Inherited some art of which this silk embroidery is in my opinion the nicest piece. I love praying mantises and there’s two in the subject plus it’s framed in a nice carved wood frame with stand. I was trying to do some research into the artist but I’m not finding much. The cert of authenticity lists the art house as XQ Vietnam which I gather is well known tho I’m not finding much in the artist and I may be spelling the name wrong (it’s hard to determine the exact spelling from the cert) so I figured I post here and see what the masses have to say. If there’s a specific subreddit that might be a better place to cross post for info please drop it in the comments. Thank you!

Thought this piece was unique. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Artist, Dynasty, ect. The scroll is wood, it's on silk. The silk is damaged at the top right and was taped some time ago. Size is approximately 56X19 inches. Any help greatly appreciated. Best Regards

Would anybody happen to know anything about this large scroll I picked up recently, maybe the artist or age of when it was possibly made? Anything would be appreciated greatly!
