款識:
庚午秋七月。祖夔二兄屬畫。剡谿鄭午昌用唐賢筆法寫漢女裝束。

唐以前狀貌仕女,要皆豐頤盛鬋,以端莊靜麗為美。顧凱之、周昉尚有妙蹟留傳,其所構寫,令人見之往往動敬愛念。宋元以還,稗官傳奇,每以多愁善病形容佳人,於是畫裡嬋娟亦盡作憔悴呻吟之態,其至工者亦祇能引人憐惜或逗人輕薄,是實有厚侮於閨闥,而為畫家者流所宜矯正之也。然破除俗格力追古法,非聰明而富膽量不辨。以便質左盦、秋君二法家以為何如?畫後二日昶又題。

鈐印:「鄭」、「午昌」、「鄭昶」、「午昌」、「鹿胎僊館畫記」。

拍品資料及來源

註:「鎮海李家」祖韓、秋君兄妹精擅書畫,復活躍於滬上藝壇,府中常設文酒之會,結納不少書畫同道,揮毫合作,極一時之盛。其中鄭午昌與李家關係尤深。

一九二九年底,「蜜蜂畫社」成立,李祖韓與鄭午昌皆為發起人。三二年,鄭氏耗費心力創辦之漢文正楷印書局,李氏兄妹皆支持,並出資認股。至於鄭午昌與他們合作或寫贈作品予其兄弟們,數量更為可觀。

鄭午昌筆下人物,多屬山水畫作中之點綴,如本幅人物造型,極稀矣!更何況以「唐賢筆法寫漢女裝束」,更百中無一。觀乎他在長跋上之論,實藉此畫以矯正後世對仕女畫流俗之見,力宗上追古法,整治時弊。他深研畫學理論,對傳統國畫信念極強,但不拘泥守舊,此本正好說明其師古之造詣根基深厚,出手不凡,仕女姿態樸厚穩重,衣服裝束出諸游絲細描,綫條靈巧,活而含勁,極得古意。以此質諸祖韓、秋君,自是引為賞音同道,藝術觀點無鴻溝之隔。故特贈李祖夔兼示其兄妹,殆有深意矣!
