Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
A dream in a field, among sprouts and dew.
A pure song and a bundle of satin—but the beauty still deems these too meager,
Not knowing how many times the weaver girl threw her shuttle by her window in cold winter.
In the middle of winter of the yimao year (1753) of the Yongzheng reign, passing my time as it rains outside my window.
I imitate Shitian's idea.
