Inscriptions
- 壬午之日,晉謁坦翁老先生於邗上,得觀吉偶先生畫箑,筆墨秀潤,江壑邃古。古來文章之士,能六法,必俟天慧,我輩所未能是也。附寄乞正,緣合之日定為教我也。蜨叟藍瑛。 In the renwu year [1642], while visiting Mr. Tanweng in Yang- zhou, I saw a fan painting by Mr. Ji’ou. The painting is elegantly executed in lustrous brush and ink; its river and valley are profound and classic. From ancient times, literati who could practice the “Six Canons” were endowed with divine brightness, which I do not have. With this painting, I beg Mr. Ji’ou’s instruction and await to hear it on the day we meet. Lan Ying. Artist's seals: 瑛, 田叔
