惲壽平: 仿倪瓉古木叢篁圖

惲壽平（1633－1690），武進人。初名格，字壽平，以字行，又字正叔，號南田。初習山水，及交友王翬，自以為不能出其右，遂肆力花卉，開沒骨畫法新局面。是幅倣倪瓚作畫，南田筆墨，一片靈秀之氣。

惲寿平：仿倪瓉古木叢篁図

南田の号で知られる惲寿平は、詩格超逸、書格俊秀、画筆生動と評され、南田三絶を称されます。本図は元末の倪瓉に倣うもの。三本の樹木と一つの奇岩、そのかたわらの美しい篠竹。超俗にして古趣あふれる得意の作ですが、柔和な筆致に南田の特質が存分に表出されています。

Yun Shou-p'ing : Old Trees and Bamboos in the style of Ni Tsan

Yun Shou-p'ing (1633-1690), Ko by original name, was a native of Wu-chin, Kiangsu province. His style name was Shou-p'ing, by which he became known later, and thus he assumed another style name Cheng-shu. His sobriquet was Nan-t'ien. He was a gifted landscape painter, but after realizing that he could not be equal in this genre to Wang Hui, his friend, he turned to paintings of flowering plants and developed a new phase in the mo-ku-fa ("boneless method") painting technique. Yun excelled in tasteful landscapes depicted on a narrow artwork plane. This work, executed in the style of the Yuan dynasty painter Ni Tsan, is a good representation of Yun's style.
