<p>The three big characters are 约翰娜. Probably a woman's name, Johanna.</p>

<p>The three small characters is 丙申年, which means the year 2016, or 2016 - (n * 60) (n could be any number). </p>

<p>The two small characters on the far right are a little hard. I guess 张东. It should be the name of author.</p>

<p>I got this picture by a friend a  days ago, but I have no idea what it says. It is not a good picture, but I hope someone on here will be able to translate at least parts of it for me. I do not know if it helps, but my friend says he got it in Beijing.<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/3BS0E.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/3BS0E.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a>  </p>

<translation><character-identification>
Can someone please translate this picture into english for me?

The three big characters are 约翰娜. Probably a woman's name, Johanna.

The three small characters is 丙申年, which means the year 2016, or 2016 - (n \* 60) (n could be any number).

The two small characters on the far right are a little hard. I guess 张东. It should be the name of author.
