石渠寶笈初編(養心殿),上冊,頁484&*故宮書畫錄(卷三),第一冊,頁81&*王寵(西元一四九四-一五三三年),字履吉,號雅宜山人,江蘇吳縣人。才華出眾,和祝允明、文徵明號稱吳中三子。王寵書法師王獻之與虞世南。此幅雖為摹寫王羲之的小楷,但王寵卻出以己意,不但融入章草樸拙的筆法和稍呈圓弧的結體,更重要的特點在其疏闊的結字,筆畫交接處往往留白,造成餘韻嬝嬝的效果。王寵雖然僅活了短短的四十歲,但已流露出吳中三子中最突出的藝術個性。&*Wang Ch'ung was a native of Soochow. As a Government Student, he failed the civil service exams 8 times, but achieved success in the private sector. With Chu Yun-ming and Wen Cheng-ming, he was one of the Three Talents of Soochow. Wang's calligraphy followed after the styles of Wang Hsien-chih and Yu Shih-nan. Although this work is a copy after Wang Hsi-chih's small standard script, Wang Ch'ung not only fused it with the simple brushwork and oval structure of chang-cursive, but more importantly opened up the structure. Blank areas in transitional strokes create for a lasting harmonious effect. Though Wang only lived to be 39, he stood out as the most promising artistic personalities among the Three Talents of Soochow.
