1. Zhang Shen 張紳 (14th century), 2 columns in standard script, dated 1372; 1 seal:

周昉戲嬰圖。經紹興御府收覽,真跡無疑。壬子秋齋郡張紳題。 [印]: 士行父

2. Gao Qi 高啟 (1336–1374), 9 columns in standard script, undated; 2 seals:

題彥亷所藏戲嬰圖。
芍藥風闌側,梧桐露井傍。嬌嬰爭晚戲,少婦鬪春粧。
共詫珠生蚌,還怜玉產岡。半披文錦褓,斜佩紫羅囊。
額髮葳蕤短,胸肌細膩光。庭前王氏子,陌上衛家郎。
弱草身眠軟,芳英手弄香。隨人貪作劇,避伴學迷藏。
莫撲花胡蝶,宜為蠟鳳凰。塗添雲母粉,浴試水沉湯。
麟送徐卿宅,蘭生謝傅堂。愛均看捴好,年並比誰長。
驥種雖難匹,鵷鶵已作行。憐君得此畫,真是夢態祥。
勃海高啟 [印]: 高啟私印、高季迪

3. Qian Pu 錢溥 (1408–1488), 7 columns in standard script, dated 1451:

海虞陳原錫所藏周昉士女戲嬰圖,妙絕千古,雖伯時、漢臣輩以士女以嬰兒名家者,莫能並臻奇妙。然觀者徒以粧容閒雅,調戲生動可愛,而不知子生其懷,顧復保護之天至者,使人覽之,則孝思之情可以油然生矣。豈犆為觀美也哉。景泰辛未春正月雲間錢溥書于玩古齋。
