石渠寶笈三編(延春閣),第四冊,頁1544&*故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁62&*故宮書畫圖錄,第三冊,頁273-274&*幅中一童子隔著布幔,專注操作提線木偶,正在演著跳鍾馗的民間宗教儀式。台前圍坐有打點鼓、敲牙板及作逗趣狀的三名童子,身著卍字文背繡團龍文服飾。此圖表現出兒童遊戲輕鬆詼諧的一面。夾頭榫直棖半桌自五代以來即用於飲饌,明代多稱酒桌。夾頭榫是案體結體常用的一種結構,是受到大樑架柱頭的啟發。腿足上端出榫並開口,中夾牙條、牙頭,出榫與案面底面的榫眼接合,可使腿足更加穩固。鑲雲石桌面與壺門式圓腿漆凳均屬明式,此圖當出自明人之手。&*This Painting has neither seal nor signature of the artist. Depicted are four children; one suspends a puppet of Chung K'uei in front of a maskeshift stage background, one beats a small drum, one plays clappers, and the other points at the puppet. Situated in a garden setting, beautiful flowers and numerous insects decorate the scene. The features, hair styles, and clothing of the figures in this painting were all finely rendered by first delicately outlining in ink lines and then filling in with light washes of color. The result is a completely spirited effect with the feel of the "opulent colors fresh and full making everything come to life" style associated with the school of Su Han-c'en. Only the background of flowers and trees appear to be lacking in detail and naturalness. Combined with the slightly exaggerated "moss-dots" on the garden rock, which appear close in technique to those of a Ming dynasty (1368-1644) artist, we may assume this to be a Ming copy based on a Sung dynasty original.&*本幅無作者款印。畫童子四人,一人於帷幕中操持鍾馗傀儡為戲,一人擊鼓,一人打板,另一人作指點狀。庭院周遭,並裝綴花卉蜂蝶諸景。細審畫中人物五官、髮型、服飾,率皆鉤染細膩,神情畢具,饒有蘇漢臣一派「著色鮮潤、體度如生」的意趣。惟配景花樹,失之刻鏤、少自然,加以湖石上附加的苔點,畫法已近乎明人習氣。以是,推斷此幅原應有所本,當屬明代仿宋的佳作。&*畫童子四人,於庭院中,分別持鍾馗傀儡、擊鼓、打板為戲。畫中人物五官、髮型、服飾,皆鉤染細膩,神情畢具,然配景花樹、湖石苔點,失之刻鏤,畫法已近明人習氣。&*This work has neither seal nor signature of the artist.
