Help to translate a sign

I'm asking for help with the black writing and the red stamp.

七十叟信徵画

Drawn by seventy-year-old-man 信徵

 

筆力？（篡？）上古？

丹青獨（覺？）眼前物

Probably means "my drawing power is better than all the drawers before me, and my current work is more worthy than the old ones". Doesn't really match the quality of the art I see in the photo. Of course, very likely I read it wrong.

Thank you for the translation, but would it be just the black writing or the red mark as well? Will you be the interpreter? Meaning a recent copy... or an ancient copy from a more ancient period?

this is a kekemono and it appears very old

Stefano:

The second two lines from Charlie's translation is the red seal.
