戴熙(1801-1860) 竹石圖 設色紙本 鏡框裝裱
The painting is inscribed:
萬葉千梢下筆難
一枝新綠盡高寒
不知霧閣雲窗晚
幾就扶蘇月影看
Which may be translated as:
'It is hard to put the myriads of leaves on paper
A branch of new shoots green high and cold in the mountains
Unaware of the evening outside the misty pavilion
I approach and with a few strokes gaze at the moonlit shadows'
