|金農（款）　墨梅　水墨紙本　立軸張廷濟、李佐賢題跋款識：蜀僧書來日之昨，先問梅花後問鶴。野梅瘦鶴各平安，只有老夫病腰腳。腰腳不利嘗閉門，閉門便是羅浮村。月夜畫梅鶴在側，鶴舞一回清人魂。畫梅乞米尋常事，那得高流送米至。我竟長飢鶴缺糧，攜鶴且抱梅花睡。峨眉山中精能院漏尊者遣單于阿鈍持書相訊，作此詩畣之。改歲畫梅花小幅，又畫書此詩，十三翁金農記。題跋：金農，字壽門，號冬心。杭州人，乾隆元年丙辰薦舉鴻博。善畫楳花，取法倪、黃，另有一種奇古之氣。用墨乾濕得宜，發枝布幹亦頗灑脫，雅秀絕塵。真大家筆墨也。己酉（1789）仲秋後三日，於壽卿先生處得覩此幅，故略誌數言，廷濟書。飛入羅浮舊路遙，惟聞風裡暗香飄。早緣服玉肌能白，疑是經春雪未消。叔未又題。冷豔照杯欺麯蘖，凍雲排陣擁山椒。近來行輩無和清（靖），多戰笙歌過六橋。同治癸亥（1863）端陽後一日，李佐賢題。鈐印：（金）金農印信、壽門、古泉（張）張叔未（二鈐）（李）竹朋
