故宮書畫錄(卷五),第三冊,頁59&*故宮書畫圖錄,第一冊,頁255-256&*崔白(西元十一世紀),濠梁(今安徽鳳陽)人,字子西,仁宗時(1022-1063)選入畫院為藝學,工畫花竹翎毛。根據記載,崔白以擅畫枯荷鳧雁而得名,故後人常將此類題材之作品歸於其名下,本幅即是一例。構圖用筆均簡潔的坡岸、蘆雁,與崔白寫實的筆墨風格不相類,卻有著元代古拙樸質的感覺。&*Ts’ui Po, (style name Tzu-hsi) was a native of Hao-liang ( modern Feng-yang, Anhwei). He entered the painting academy during the reign of Jen-tsung(r.1022-1063) as a Student and specialized in painting birds, small animals, flowers, and bamboo. According to history descriptions, Ts’ui Po became famous for his depictions of withered lotuses and waterfowl. As a result, later collectors would often ascribe works of this subject matter to his name. This painting is such an example. However, the abbreviated nature of the composition and brushwork describing this goose resting on a shoal with reeds differs somewhat from the actual style associated with Ts’ui Po. This painting is related to the archaic and primitive styles advocated in the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368).
