內容簡介(中文)@#@馬守真(西元一五四八-一六○四年),字玄兒、月嬌,號湘蘭,金陵(今江蘇南京)人,能作詩文,善繪蘭竹,為秦淮藝妓。
白描水仙數十餘株,花葉穿插映帶,陰陽相背,疏密有致,繁而不亂,或盛開或含苞待放,抵昂顧盼,畫面有條不紊而生意盎然,墨色的濃淡深淺得宜,既表現水仙的自然狀態,且得水仙清雅脫俗的神韻,足見作者寫實功力。
本幅為蘭千山館林柏壽先生寄存文物。(20110405)@#@@#@內容簡介(英文)@#@ Ma Shouzhen (style names Xuaner, Yuejiao; sobriquet Xianglan), native of Jinling (modern Nanjing, Jiangsu), was gifted at poetry and painting orchids and bamboo. A famous courtesan of Qinhuai, this baimiao (ink outline) depiction of hers has dozens of narcissi (“water immortals”). Blossoms and leaves intersect and twist in dense but not chaotic complexity. Some bloom and others are in bud, head up as if looking around. The work is both methodic and brimming with vitality, the pleasing ink ranging from light to dark. The work expresses the nature of narcissus as well as its pure and otherworldly spirit, also reflecting the artist’s skill at rendering from life. This work was entrusted from the Lanqian shanguan collection of Mr. Lin Po-shou.(20110405)
