• Wind among the Trees on the Riverbank 江渚風林圖
  
  Artist’s inscription and signature (4 columns in standard script) On the river bank, the evening tide begins to fall; The frost-covered leaves of the windblown grove are sparse. I lean on my staff – the brushwood gate is closed and silent; I think of my friend – the glow is nearly gone from the hills. On the fifteenth day of the ninth month in the guimao year of the Zhizheng era [October 22, 1363] I playfully painted this for Mr. Shengbo [Yu Kan, active ca. 1354] and composed a quatrain too. Ni Zan[1] 江渚暮潮初落，風林霜葉渾稀。 倚杖柴門閴寂，懷人山色依微。 至正癸卯九月望日戲為勝伯徵君寫此并賦小詩。倪瓚 [1] Translation from Department records.

  Artist’s inscription and signature (4 columns in cursive script): Blossoms compete with the moon in luminosity; All merge in white, making me suspect that snow has fragrance. Worldly men, ardently praising the loveliness of colors, Would not have scooped water to rinse off pink makeup. Written by Nanzhuang Chusou [Ni Jing].[1] 華容月色多爭光，一白渾疑雪有香。 人世競誇顏色好，莫教掬水洗紅妝。 南莊鉏叟寫。 Artist’s seals: 克誠 止齋 倪敬克誠 帶經之裔 南莊鉏叟 筆底□春 [1] Translation by Shi-yee Liu.

• Woods and Valleys of Mount Yu 虞山林壑圖
  
  Artist’s inscription and signature (6 columns in standard script) Chen Fan (active mid-2nd c.) prepared a bed Only when Xu Ru (active mid-2nd c.) came for a visit. The water from the well in Yan You’s [Yan Yan, zi Ziyou, 506 B.C. –?] neighborhood [in Changshu] is sweet and cool, Whereas Yuzhong's [Ji Zhongyong, 12th c. B.C.] shrine [on Mount Yu] is desolate from neglect. We watch the clouds and daub with our brushes; We drink wine and write poems. The joyous feelings of this day Will linger long after we have parted.[1] On the thirteenth of the twelfth lunar month of the xinhai year [January 19, 1372], I paid a visit to the lofty hermit Bowan and painted the Woods and Valleys of Mount Yu with a poem in five-character lines as a memento of this trip. Ni Zan 陳蕃懸榻處，徐孺過門時。 甘冽言游井，荒涼虞仲祠。 看雲聊弄翰，把酒更題詩。 此日交歡意，依依去後思。 辛亥十二月十三日訪伯琬高士，因寫《虞山林壑》并題五言，以紀來游。倪瓚 [1] Translation from Wen C. Fong, Beyond Representation: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy 8th – 14th Century (New York, 1992), p. 490. Modified.
