Footnotes

袁克文、劉梅真等題 馬湘蘭製熏香爐拓片 水墨紙本 鏡框

題識:絕代閨妝原一瞬,何處相思涕淚痕。攜琴獨酒人不見,殘鐙留詩醉斷魂。題時梅真夫人與雲姬、無麈同案。克文。
鈐印:寒雲、上第二子、克文與梅真夫人同賞、寒雲鑑賞之鈢

(一)
題識:粉黛天生總不知,分明病榻影支離。佳人老去人如夢,枉畫清涼寂寞蘭。煙月秦淮付一麈,畫中猶見舊天真。世間多少傷心事,末路英雄病美人。袁劉梅真手拓並題。
鈐印:袁劉梅真、袁劉姐

(二)
題識:金粉樓前秋草黃,墨香獨占胭脂場。畫得幽蘭多風韻,千古江南馬回嬢。侍兒無麈。
鈐印:無麈

(三)
題識:秦淮猶記舊時妝,傾城風韻芝蘭香。寶帳美人才子筆,留得青閨俠骨芳。侍兒文雲。
鈐印:侍兒文雲賞記

註:據《紙上金石──小品善拓過眼錄》(仲威編著,北京,文物出版社,2017年1月,頁116、117),上海圖書館藏有「馬湘蘭熏香爐」禇德彝善拓本,近代詞人況周頤(1859-1926)錄《綠意》詞題贈「積餘先生」。另,市場數年前曾釋出劉世珩(1875-1937)舊藏本,亦禇德彝所拓,有繆荃孫、況周頤題識,況氏所題仍為《綠意》詞。本幅為寒雲夫人劉梅真手拓,據鄭逸梅考,梅真名媲,「安徽貴池人。父為鹽商,饒資財,捐候補道,與袁世凱相結納,遂呈姻戚」。梅真有詩名,寒雲曾匯二人唱和為《倦繡室詩草》,善書,小楷尤佳,一九一九年曾為上海《晶報》題端。
