INSCRIPTION: PRUNUS BLOSSOMS
朱脤玉面額鵝黃,亂鎖青煙共一香;
絕似漢宮初破曉,水晶簾下閗新妝。
高鳳翰寫並題
印:「翰」「印」
Vermillion flesh, jade-white face and light yellow forehead,
a turbulent blue-green mist united into one fragrance.
A scene like dawn in the Han palace,
when [court ladies] contend in new adornments under the crystal curtain.
Painted and inscribed by Gāo Fènghàn.
