This is my guess, but it looks like it could be a Western artist taking influence from Asian history. I'd guess from 1860-1940.
Edit: Don't take my word for it though, also no idea about the signature, sorry.

Looking at the paper which doesn't seem to have much age to it and by the ink  I would say a lot more modern. I'd say around 80s or even 90s. Doesn't appear to be a drawing more like done in some type of marker. The signature I have no clue

Maybe the 7okt77 is the date? 7 Oktober '77 in German?
Found a Jelle van den Berg, from the Netherlands. http://www.gallery9.com.au/jelle-van-den-berg-artist
Maybe it is him? Date would be correct. Didn't see any signatures, though.

Beat me to it ssf2!  Good job explaining the date, artist, etc.  Kudos to you!

Thanks KC and ghopper1924!

I think he was in college in 1977. Maybe see if you can find an email address or other contact info from his last job in Sydney, or maybe try contacting the Wesnall Gallery? They just had an exhibition of his work there in Jan. 2016.
