惲壽平 國色天香 設色絹本 立軸一對

款識:洛陽春雨濕芳菲,萬斛胭脂染舞衣。帳底金盤承密露,東家蝴蝶不須飛。仿徐崇嗣筆意,南田草衣惲壽平。
鈐印:壽平、白雲外史
藏印:懷煙閣陸氏珍藏書畫印

款識:豪貴說長安,爭先購牡丹。我無池館地,畫與子孫看。臣叔壽平。
鈐印:壽平之章、南田寫
藏印:養福老人珍藏

來源:
1940至50年代駐北京之英籍漢學家舊藏,並由其子繼承至今

註:〈國色天香〉為絹本設色,以南唐徐崇嗣「沒骨法」寫洛陽牡丹,每幅各錄元人詠牡丹題畫詩一首,逾五尺大中堂,乃南田罕有的大幅作品。惲氏作花卉,追求逸格。嘗言「近日寫生家多宗余沒骨花圖,一變染濃麗俗習,時足以悅目爽心,然傳模既久,將為濫觴,余故亟稱宋人淡雅一種,欲使脂粉華靡之態復還本色」。觀此對牡丹,明豔飄逸、腴而不俗,格調清雅,非南田莫能為也。一軸鈐有「懷煙閣陸氏珍藏書畫印」,知曾為清中藏書家、書畫鑒藏家陸時化(1714-1779)所寶玩。
