石渠寶笈初編(御書房),下冊,冊1107&*故宮書畫錄(卷五),第三冊,頁178&*故宮書畫圖錄,第五冊,頁31-32&*柯九思(西元一二九O—至一三四三),台州人,字敬仲,號丹丘生。元文宗設置奎章閣,授他為學士院鑒書博士,內府收藏的法書名畫,都讓他鑒定過。又善辨識金石鼎彝,眼光正確,當時沒有人趕得上。為人博學能詩文;書法寫得好,山水不錯,又善畫墨竹都畫得很有趣味。 這幅畫水中茅亭,亭中有一人觀水。岸上小童侍立著。左方遠山以濃墨點苔,層雲密集山中。全幅筆墨蒼秀,丘壑的經營深遠,全用圓筆來畫,給人一種渾樸古拙的韻味。&*K'o Chiu-ssu was a native of T'ai-chou, Chekiang. His style name was Ching-chung, his sobriquet Tan-ch'iu-sheng. A man of letters, he served as a special academic official at the imperial court, and was ordered to inspect and evaluate all calligraphy and painting in the imperial collection. He was also a connoisseur of antiquities, and had an eye unequalled by others of his time. His poetry and prose were excellent, as was his calligraphy. His landscape painting was quite good, and his bamboos superb. A figure in a thatched pavilion gazes at the water, while his attendant waits on the bank. The distant mountain on the left side is dotted with heavy ink, representing mosses; layers of clouds are massed against the mountain peaks. The brushwork has a refined and elegant quality, and creates vast distances in mountains and valleys. Painted with a full brush, the work possesses an antique simplicity and harmony.
