拍品专文

The verse inscribed by Zhang Jinfang reproduces an extended prose poem by early Qing scholar official Zhu Yizun (1629-1709). The poem describes a painting of Luohan by ninth-tenth century master Guanxiu, seen in the Guangxiao monastery. The accompanying painting illustrates the work which Zhu describes, including the monk engrossed in writing sutras, the serene figure to his left, and the aged ape who stands in the courtyard, hands clasped upon a broom.
