《枯木寒鸦图》轴，清，朱耷作，纸本，墨笔，纵178.5厘米，横91.5厘米。

　　本幅表现隆冬时节，4只落寞的寒鸦在残石败枝上栖息的情景。寒鸦的羽毛先以淡墨晕染，趁湿在淡墨上罩以浓墨，浓淡墨交融处显现出羽毛柔软、细密的质感。鸟的眼眶为一笔圈成的椭圆形，靠近上眼眶处以重墨点睛，一付“白眼向人”的神色顿现笔底。鸟儿孤傲不驯的神态最能体现作者坚韧倔强、磊落不羁的个性。

　　本幅款署：“八大山人写。”钤“遥属”朱文印， “可得神仙”、“八大山人”二方白文印。

　　虽然此图无年款，但是依据其落款“八大山人”在不同时期具有不同写法的特点，可推断此幅是朱耷70岁以后的代表作。

 

--------Introduction in English--------

 

"Drawing of Dead Wood and Jackdaw" axis, Qing Dynasty, Zhu Jin, paper, ink, 178.5 cm in length, 91.5 cm in transverse.

In the middle of winter, four lonely crows perch on the rubble and decayed branches. Jackdaw's feathers are first dyed with light ink and covered with thick ink while wet. The soft and fine texture of the feathers appears at the blend of strong and light ink. The bird's eye is a circled oval shape, close to the upper eye socket, with heavy ink on the eyes, and a look of "white eyes to people" suddenly appears on the bottom of the pen. The bird's arrogant and unruly manner can best reflect the author's tenacious and unruly personality.

"Eight Mountain People Write." Jun's "remote belongs" Zhu Wenyin, the "acquired immortals" and the "Badashan people" in both Baiwenyin.

Although there is no annuity in this picture, it can be inferred that Zhu Ji's masterpiece after 70 years old is based on the different writing characteristics of his "Badashan people" in different periods.
