註:
此幅書於一六四一年,是其五十歲之作。所臨《賢弟帖》同刻於《淳化閣帖》卷五及《絳帖》卷一,姜夔所撰《絳帖平》則指出此帖應出自王獻之筆跡。王鐸臨帖之勤,自謂隔日臨帖,終身不移,其行草宗二王,筆力雄健。此軸草書寫於綾本之上,筆勢勁健縱逸,意到筆隨。右下有「石𡪾」一印,應為明朝書畫家及收藏鑑賞家袁樞之印。袁氏工書畫精鑑賞,為明末畫壇領袖董其昌所推重。王鐸與袁樞交情深厚,書有《贈袁樞詩冊》相贈。

此軸包首題「天泉閣藏神品」,「天泉閣」乃許源來(1904-1979)室名。許氏出身官宦世家,曾任上海市文物保管委員會顧問,書法家,著名戲曲評論家許姬傳(1900-1990)弟。許姬傳曾擔任梅蘭芳的私人秘書多年,並著有《梅蘭芳舞台生活四十年》、《許姬傳藝壇漫錄》等書。許氏兄弟喜文物鑑賞,與當時的大鑑藏家吳湖帆、張珩、韓慎先多有來往。
