Inscriptions

This painting is inscribed with four poetic colophons (carrying literary allusions and drawn from ancient poetry) by:

  • Kang Tao, dated 1746
  • Qian Du (1763-1844), dated 1813
  • Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), twice, dated on consecutive days in 1843

Kang Tao's short poem reads:

She is not grieving for autumn now, nor moved by spring.
The silken fan back in its box, a new one's in his hand.
As fragrant breezes bring contentment, the "metal wind" now fades.
In this world, can anyone plumb the truth of her heart'
