夏鑾款 花鳥圖 水墨設色紙本 立軸 四條屏 &nbsp; &nbsp;款識一：太平無事到中年，不屑文章作繪妍，只向天台山裡住，看彎間做小遊仙； 款識二：自來海國作幽棲，滿目驚濤運不齊，托足最高峰頂上，爲看日出始頭低； 款識三：莽莽天風散曉青，蒼鸞拳立立亭亭，和聲鳴罷雲韶曲，多少凡禽在下聽； 款識四：無官守責可息不，息有清世心欲擊，不擊審欣周詳發，中的幽壑窮巖宵，小屏跡充此雄豪，一朝忠直積雪荒，寥惜無引汲。二泉仁兄大人法家正，秣陵夏鑾寫於穗垣客次。 鈐印：夏鑾、鳴之书画簽條書：夏鑾、翎毛花卉ink and colour on paper, with inscriptions and seals, hanging scrolls (4)
