This is the signature of the artist of the oil painting FOUR CHINESE SCHOLARS. It is not clear what the signature is - N H Chau? N H Chim? W N Chen?

Does anyone have any idea who the artist might be? To be this expert he (or she) must have done many other similar works.

Please refer to previous post about the painting for details.

This expertly executed original oil painting of Four Chinese Scholars originates in Hong Kong late 1940s or early 1950s. The boys are obviusly from a notable family. The painting is unusual in that it was painted at that time by a Chinese artist in the European style on stretched canvas. However the signature is not clear - W H Chau? N W Chen?

The frame is also noteworthy. It is wood with Gold Leaf and heavily embossed fruits: persimmons, lychees, pomegranetes, pineapples. Size 900 x 700cm

Does anyone have any idea who the artist might be?
