註：一九四八年夏，李研山隻身離穗赴港，重晤舊友，並應邀留港，籌備展覽。不料數月後，廣州政局遽變，遂轉客居為定居。是時，他獲中醫陳炳森襄助，暫棲九龍佐敦彌敦道之居室。該處未及百尺，僅置一桌，號曰「六安室」。雖身處斗室，欲無礙其創作意欲，並在此籌備了不少聯展及五一年思豪酒店之個展。這段期間，他得睹不少南來藏家之歷代劇迹，亦成為陳仁濤「金匱室」座客，眼界精進，仰慕者如何耀光、陳芷町、區賜琦等不時登門請益，故李氏亦將此居所取名「居廣堂」。直至五三年，方遷至購置於九龍鑽石山下元嶺之寓所。本幅上鈐李研山藏印「六安室主」，極少鈐於藏品上，可知乃畫家一九四九年春至五三年春居「六安室」期間所得。

「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。
