馬荃

十八世紀

菊花

設色絹本 立軸

款識：甲戌(1754)秋日仿趙昌法，江香馬荃。鈐印：江香、一印漫漶不辨

題跋：

(席鏊) 何人畫把東籬種，寫向高堂素練中。莫道秋兒畫屏冷，尊前別自有春風。席鏊題。鈐印：二印漫漶不辨

(齊壽) 絕艷能回秋後春，賦家曾以洛川神。何須冒雨開重九，一幅生絹已動人。鈐印：齊壽印

(王琛) 菊有仙靈筆有神，化權終不在陽春。一般秋色成千品，前度桃花卻後塵。雖信珠璣顏色好，獨憐霜雪怯情親。菊詩前首從君選，未必微篇愧古人。丙子(1756)四月，七十六老人王琛。鈐印：王琛之印、匪石甫

(周安節) 錦爛重陽節到時，繁華夢裡傲霜枝。晚香帶冷凝丹粒，秋色封寒點絳蕤。淡映殘虹迷老圃，濃拖斜照落東籬。靈砂換卻淵明骨，倦倚西風不自知。甲戌九秋懸此以賞籬菊誦古今，詩侑酒益信詩中有畫畫中有詩之識也，識於萬竹草堂。周安節。鈐印：安節書畫、承五、一印漫漶不辨

鑑藏印：秋湖讀畫
