Description
吳滿 花鳥圖 水墨設色紙本 及 張程修 行書書法 扇頁（兩幅）
款識一：（正）任廷辛伯四大人鑒正，▢吳滿；（反）仕宦而至將相，富貴而歸故，鄉此人情之，所榮而令昔之所同也，蓋士閭里庸人孺子，皆得易而侮之。岩季子不禮於其嫂，買臣見棄於其妻，一旦高車駟，馬旗旄道前而騎卒擁後夾，道之人相興，駢肩累跡，瞻望咨嗟而所謂，奔走駭汗羞愧俯伏以自悔，罪於車塵馬，足之開。此一介之士得志，當特而意氣之，咸昔人比之衣錦之榮者也。惟大丞相魏國公則不然，公相人也，世有令德，為特名。𡖖自公少特己嚁高科登頭仕海內之士，聞下風而望餘光者，蓋亦有年矣。所謂將相而富貴，皆公所宜；素有非如窮阨之人，僥倖得志於一時，出於愚夫愚婦之不意，以駕駭而誇耀之也。然則高牙大纛不足為公榮，桓圭衮裳不足為公貴；德被生民，而功施社稷，勒之金石，播之聲詩，以耀後世而垂無窮。此公之志，而士亦以此望於公也。豈止誇，一特榮一𡖖哉。䒢書歐陽修畫錦堂記一段特中歷。光緒二十五年十二月二十日上請。任廷大輔政君鈞鑒，中學弟子員張程修。
鈐印：（正）文軒；（反）翼儒
款識二：（正）任廷辛伯四大人雅鑒，吳滿作；（反）聖王在上而民不凍饑者，非能耕而食之，織而衣之也，為開其貲則之道也。故堯禹有九年之水，湯有七豐旱，而國匕捐瘠者，以蓄積多而備先具也。今海內為一土地人，民之眾不避湯禹加以，無天災數年之水，旱及者何也。地有餘力，民有餘力，生穀之土，未澤之利未書出也。游食之民爲盡書歸農也。民貧則奸，邪生貧生於不足，不足生於不農▢書。晁錯論貴票一段請。任廷大輔政君正字，中學弟子員張程修
