閨女求天女，更闌意未闌；玉庭開粉席，羅袖捧金盤。

癸亥仲夏之月，白雲溪上懶漁馮超然并題於維摩羅詰龕。

註：馮超然筆下人物，多置於山水畫中，或配其題，或襯其景，若純取此為主題，高士則採文唐法，仕女則師改七薌、費曉樓畫風，多纖巧柔弱一路。

本幅乃七夕賞月寫照，畫中夜幕雲遮，月色半現，桐影映照，正是仲秋之色。庭院中佈湖石，秀竹紅花相伴，几案上菓品供奉，白藕紅菱，鮮嫩清麗，皆應節之物。求姻緣美滿之閨女，一雙手合什，虔誠祈盼，以求織女庇佑；一手捧綫籃，侍候在側；一手拈紅線，細若髮絲，對月穿針，以喻早締良緣。畫家以民間傳統渡七夕之習俗入畫，尤重氣氛營造，人物寫來描劃細膩，見婉弱之姿，諸物相配，恰見得宜。

畫背簽條乃朱鏡波（1889-1968）為「靜厂主人」所書。朱氏，號平齋，蘇州人，精書畫金石，與滬上名家多有交誼，尤與吳湖帆、馮超然、吳待秋等過從甚密，屢得作品貽贈，其「月波樓」收藏極豐。本幅後轉歸錢鏡塘「數青草堂」，尚貼有紀錄其藏品編號之標籤。
