This painting is inscribed with four poetic colophons (carrying literary allusions and drawn from ancient poetry) by:
Kang Tao, dated 1746
Qian Du (1763-1844), dated 1813
Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), twice, dated on consecutive days in 1843
Kang Tao's short poem reads:
She is not grieving for autumn now, nor moved by spring. The silken fan back in its box, a new one's in his hand. As fragrant breezes bring contentment, the "metal wind" now fades. In this world, can anyone plumb the truth of her heart'
