註︰牡丹乃趙之謙拿手之題材,此圖係受人所託,創作於1873年。描繪山石旁一叢牡丹。枝幹疏朗挺拔。濃密枝葉中掩映艷麗紅黃兩色牡丹,美艷脫俗。紅牡丹用沒骨法繪成,黃牡丹爲逸筆勾勒填以淡黃。花色艷麗,與深綠色花葉形成鮮明對比。前置山石,呈丁字形,以淡墨寫成,濃墨點苔復以石綠提醒。整幅畫以倒三角形構圖,重色牡丹及花葉集中於畫幅上半部,半隱於山石之後。山石瘦削,與其後之牡丹如包裹之花束,穩扎佇立,三平面層次造成立體效果。山石下芳草茂盛,並題款於左下方,使整個畫面平衡,並無頭重腳輕之感。整幅畫面險中求穩,疏密有致,變化豐富,乃趙氏花卉作品常見風格,打破歷代花鳥畫構圖侷限,爲趙氏新創。趙之謙將書法篆刻之構圖向繪畫滲透,爲其後任伯年、吳昌碩、齊白石、潘天壽所承繼發揚。——崔迎春
