<p>**I have two paintings that*were definitely done by the same artist but I presume were signed with different forms of the artist signature. One is signed &quot;Bai Shi Shen Ren&quot; (Qi Baishi) but the one on this image says something different. Both have identical artist seals.

I checked the stamp. It reads:

3之柳1

4印桥2（digits are the sequense）

this four characters, namely, 柳桥之印, means the stamp of 柳桥(an actual place)

As is mentioned by others 南方熊楠 is living between 1867.4.15 and 1941.12.29.
While 齐白石 is between 1864.1.1 to 1957.9.6.

The fact that 南方熊楠 is close to 孙中山 at that time, means that he does have access to some of the paintings of 齐白石.

However, do note that 齐白石 is not the only person identified as 白石山人. In fact the name “白石” was given to him originally by his teacher, according to an obscure famous artist 白石山人, so take heed.

See this old wiki page:<https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E9%BD%90%E7%99%BD%E7%9F%B3&direction=next&oldid=181943>

(I don't know why they removed the part of the origin of his name, like it's not important, come on.)

The context isn't so clear but I guess [柳橋](https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9F%B3%E6%A9%8B_(%E5%8F%B0%E6%9D%B1%E5%8C%BA)) is a place name and 熊楠 refers to [南方熊楠](http://www.minakatakumagusu-kinenkan.jp/). It means the painting is done at 柳橋 by 南方熊楠.
