羅叔重 楷書〈題李研山竹石圖〉

款識：
連岡坡陀不作峯，千枝萬葉隨秋風。風聲綿延，遠望不可到，窅然如在深林中。乃知：高人胸中有全竹，奮筆一掃煙雲空。湘江之南渭川北，尺幅逕欲翔羣龍。從容伸縮意難料，脫畧枝節神先融。凌雲拂磵各有態，偶然落筆皆天工。茅堂朝開幽鳥靜，飛流挂壁聲淙淙。延陵公子本好事，敂門一笑揮青銅（客持此軸欵門求售，以百餘萬錢得之）。風流文采但相望，誰與作者研山翁。題李研山〈竹石圖〉為吳欣六製。
研山二兄詩盟正之。煙滸寒碧羅叔重。

鈐印：「叔重」、「瑛」。

註：羅叔重與李研山同年生，皆活躍於港澳文藝界，雖一癖金石，一好繪事，惟二人兼嗜詩文書法，不時酬唱相和，感情要好，交誼始於四十年代初，前後歷廿載。李研山畫上，不論簽書、引首、詩堂、後跋等，不少具羅氏墨迹。其用印如「研山」、「雙銕笛樓」、「石谿壺館」等亦出自羅氏刀下。李氏亦屢有作品回報。

本幅乃羅氏重錄題於李研山〈竹石圖〉上之詩。詩中以「高人」、「落筆皆天工」形容其畫藝文采，讚賞之情，溢於言表。又記〈竹石圖〉乃「以百餘萬錢得之」，謂其洛陽紙貴，推崇甚矣。上款以「詩盟」稱謂，可見二人以詩訂交，或因得句後自詡快意，遂以恭楷重錄，贈摯友留念。

「書娛」：李研山家族珍藏書畫（編號1274-1278）

李研山繪事之餘，兼好詩詞書法，惟詩文流傳不多。本輯出自其家屬珍藏，以詩書為主，包括錄於自製箋紙之詩稿（編號1274）及成扇小品（編號1278）。另有畫家摯友吳子復（編號1277）、羅叔重（編號1275）寫贈之書法精品，以及所收藏之譚延闓行書聯（編號1276）。除詩稿外，餘者皆從未公開，從中亦可一窺李研山與藝友間之酬唱交往。
