墨梅

水墨紙本 立軸

署簽：(葛昌楹)金冬心墨梅逸品真蹟。癸亥(1923)始冬得於扈，寶之寶之，當湖葛書徵記。鈐印：昌楹審定

釋文：吾郡孤山下荒亭之中，有梅十數，相傳逋仙手植。每花時，余必吟賞其側。今客揚州，若號寒之蟲，墐戶不出，追想風格，呵凍寫此，尚不失其古貌也。恨無薛家筆法，添畫襹褷六鶴于左右耳。畫畢又題一詩：「硯水生冰墨半乾，畫梅須畫晚來寒。樹無醜態香沾袖，不愛花人莫與看。」乾隆二十一年(1756)十二月小除夕，畫於九莭菖蒲憩館，七十翁金農記。鈐印：金氏壽門、龍虎丁卯

題跋：

(章勁宇)

(一)側理如雲墨似烟，亂頭麤服化梅僊。何當霜雪千年候，獨立東風態更研。己丑(1949)元旦題冬心翁梅幅，勁宇長物也。鈐印：章松齡印、勁宇所得

(二)冬心絕句《歲暮複寓吳興姚大蓮花莊》歐波亭外水濛濛，記得今秋攜釣筒。消受白蓮花世界，風來四面臥當中。以不經意之筆，流露真性情，而別有所得之趣，余最喜愛之，今於此幅亦然。翌日又記。鈐印：勁

(阮性山)冬心師白玉蟾，兩峰師冬心，所謂皆不食人間煙火味者，此幅當見其師承。戊子(1948)九月鄉後學院阮性山識於章氏勁寓。鈐印：阮、性、山(連珠印)

(吳澂)張瓜田云：「冬心精鑑賞，年五十始從事於畫，涉筆即古，脫畫家之習，良由所見古蹟多也！」余則以為冬心翁情性逋峭，畫似其詩，詩一如其情性。勁宇主人與余同具斯意，今出示新得墨梅，筆墨寒儉，點染閒逸，尤非塵俗者所可夢見也。戊子(1948)冬仲，七十一叟吳抱鋗題記。鈐印：抱鋗居士、吳待秋

(高野侯)冬心翁畫梅，初師逃禪，繼宗白玉蟾，晚年之作使筆運墨蒼渾入神，兩峰師之，而以煮石變其面目。前賢自立不願拘有囿於師，所謂青出於藍，有勝藍之志，然刻意之作終不及師之純任自然。冬心此幀摹白叟之意趣，寫梅花之精神，得意筆蹤兩峰何能企及？鑑真匪易悠悠者何可與言？勁宇喜收藏，寀辨獨異，亟以敦煌梁書懺悔文卷鄭重相易，遂割予愛，予藏畫梅五百本，自宋至清都銘心之品，此其一也！漫題以為記驗。戊子(1948)九秋高野侯識於梅王閣，時年七十有一。鈐印：高野侯、梅王閣

鑑藏印：(葛昌楹)平湖葛昌楹書徵考藏金石書畫之印

(高野侯)五百本畫梅精舍
