Zhao Mengfu, 元 趙孟頫 趙雍 趙麟 吳興趙氏三世人馬圖 卷 Grooms and Horses by three generations of the Zhao Family of Wuxing. Handscroll; ink and color on paper, 1296. Accession Number:1988.135 Artists’ inscriptions and signatures Zhao Mengfu 趙孟頫, 2 columns in standard script, dated 1296: On the tenth of the first lunar month in the second year of the Yuanzhen reign era [February 11, 1296] I painted this Groom and Horse for Surveillance Commissioner Feiqing’s pure enjoyment. Inscribed by Zhao Mengfu of Wuxing [in Zhejiang]. 元貞二年正月十日作 《人馬圖》 以奉飛卿廉訪清玩。吴興趙孟頫題。 Zhao Yong 趙雍, 6 columns in standard script, dated 1359: In autumn, the eighth lunar month, of the nineteenth year in the yihai year of the Zhizheng reign era [August–September, 1359] I was staying in Wulin [present-day Hangzhou]. Han Jieshi came to me bringing with him a painting of a man and a horse by my late father, the Minister. He told me that Xie Boli, Associate Prefect of Songjiang, sent him to show the picture and ask me to do a painting of the same subject as a sequel to it. I viewed it respectfully with mingled feelings of sorrow and joy and could not put it down. Although I am not personally acquainted with Boli, since I admire his lofty spirit, I painted this with profound emotion and give it to Jieshi to forward to him. Written by Zhao Yong. 至正十九年己亥秋八月余寓武林。一日韓介石過余道，松江同知謝伯理雅意俾介石持所藏先平章所畫人馬見示，求余扵卷尾亦作人馬以繼之。拜觀之餘，悲喜交集，不能去手，余雖未識伯理，嘉其高致，故慨然為作，以授介石，歸之伯理云。趙雍書。 Zhao Lin 趙麟, 7 columns in standard script, dated 1359: Xie Boli of Yunjian [present-day Songjiang, Jiangsu] for some time owned the painting Man and Horse by my late grandfather, the Duke of Wei, and has had it mounted on a handscroll. Later, at his request my father also executed a painting on the following part of the scroll and now he makes the request of me. May I venture to ask, is it not that he covetously desires works handed down by all three generations of my family? Unless one is most enthusiastic about [art works] of merit, no one would be so attentive to such things. So finally, without declining, I consented to do it. On the fifteenth of the tenth lunar month in the yihai year of the Zhizheng reign era [November 6, 1359], written by Zhao Lin, Gentleman for Managing Affairs and Document Examiner of the Provincial Government of Jiang and Zhe Districts. 雲間謝伯理氏舊藏先大父魏國公所畫 《人馬圖》 裝潢成卷，復言家君作于後，而亦以命余竊惟伯理之囗繼欲侈吾家三世之所傳歟，自非篤扵人，雅不能用心若此也，遂不辭而承命。時至正己亥冬十月望日也，承事郎、江浙等處行中書省檢校官趙麟識。 Artists' seals: Zhao Mengfu 趙孟頫 Zhao shi Ziang 趙氏子昂 Zhao Lin 趙麟 Yanzheng 彥徴
