故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁58&*故宮書畫圖錄,第二冊,頁125-126&*劉松年(西元十二世紀末至十三世紀初),錢塘(今杭州)人。宋淳熙初畫院學生,紹熙年間(1190-1194)為畫院待詔。師張敦禮,工畫人物、山水,神氣精妙,勝於其師。秋日,羊兒悠閒的吃草或嬉戲,大樹下,兩牧童席地而坐,手持竹筒,玩鬥蟋蟀的遊戲。畫家描繪童子弓著身子,張口瞪目的模樣,頗能表達出神情專注的神態。&*Liu Sung-nien was a native of Ch'ien-t'ang, Chekiang (modern Hangchow). During the Ch'un-his reign (1174-1189) of the Southern Sung Emperor Hsiao-tsung, he was a student in the Painting Academy. During the Shao-his reign period (1190-1194), he was made a Painter-in-Attendance at the court. Skilled at figure painting and landscapes, Liu studied under Chang Tun-li. His skill was such that he surpassed his master in fame. On an autumn day, a lamb grazes unhurriedly. Two shephered boys sit on a mat under a tree. One clutches a bamboo basket. They are playing with a noisy cricket. The painter has depicted the straight bodies, open mouths, and wide eyes of the children, capturing the liveliness of their personalities.&*1.劉芳如,〈宋劉松年秋林縱牧圖〉,收入劉芳如、葛婉章編,《嬰戲圖》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1990年四月初版),頁84。
