Ming Kong  孔鳴

Studio of Not Growing Tired  不厭齋

Colophon: My brother Jingting (Ching-ting) does not grow tired of three things; one, he does not grow tired of the fading fragrance of tea; two, he does not grow tired of the strong scent of ink; three, he does not grow tired of long solitude. I cleverly suggest replacing “Studio” with “Alone.” [ie. Not Growing Tired of Being Alone]

Signature: Third moon of the Jiawu year, Kong Ming inscribed. Seal: Ming (Red Text), Jing (White Text).

跋：吾兄敬亭有三不厭 一不厭茶香散 二不厭墨味濃 三不厭慎獨久 余以宅取齋之妙也

款識：甲午三月 孔鳴題。印：鳴 (白文)   敬 (朱文)
