Description
尹敏仁 二駿圖 水墨設色紙本 卷軸 以及 佚名 高士圖 水墨紙本 立軸（共兩幅）
款識一：馬性如龍性，矯矯本不部群。蕭然冀北野，羈勒不加身。一自逢伯樂，邊感知已深。貢入天即中，飼養足芻薪。豈不自矝貴，未免失其真。何如此兩馬，瀟洒絕俗麈。駱公向有山林思想，祇以國家倚重未遂初服。鶴此次去而復返，亦以感公之知遇，耳視此不羈馬，得毋自歎弗如耶，此幀為鶴所贈公。恰屬馬故囑為題，莊子曰以馬喻馬，或其然▢爰賦以詩并綴數語質之。民國八年歲次己未孟冬，下浣題於威海客次。古越王鶴青氏。
鈐印：捷甫
鈐印二：歲在乙卯春二月之望於都門寺，石溪竹軒壽之尹敏仁。
畫内二：壽之
款識：此幀為友人所贈，不知作者姓氏。愛其人物瀟洒，有隱逸風藏之久矣。欽使駱公雅好書畫，又樂山林。今歲予告歸里蕭然，自得享林泉之福，得毋同興圖中人耶，因敬以奉贈。時民國十年正月十三，日記於威海客次，古越王鶴青。
鈐印：平心
簽條書：無名氏山水人物小條
