Inscriptions
依村構草亭，端方意匠宏。 林深禽鳥樂，塵遠竹松輕。 泉石俱延賞，琴書悅性情。 何當謝凡近，任適慰平生。 至正七年丁亥冬十月，為元澤戲作草亭詩意。梅沙彌書 [印]楳華盦; 嘉興吳鎮仲圭書畫記; 我愛梅花翁，巨老傳心印。 脩此水墨缘，種種得蒼潤。 樹石墮筆鋒，造化不能吝。 而今橡林下，我願執掃汛。 後學沈周 [印]启南; Colophon by Chen Rentao (1952): 予求梅道人畫二十年不可得。所見多膺鼎，即故宮所藏山水數軸都不可靠。傳世真迹，惟《漁父圖》、《嘉禾八景》與此《草亭詩意》而已。壬辰十月十四日余大病初愈，居家休養，研山師忽持此圖相贈。展卷披覽，頓覺精神沛振，如服僊藥。同日又得宋拓柳公權《神策軍紀聖德碑》，及群玉堂藏《真草書千(字)文》，皆海內孤本。一日得數寶，欣喜何如，書以志幸。 陳仁濤識 [印]陳氏仁濤; Colophon by Chen Rentao: 此圖作於至正七年丁亥，時年六十八，盖其晚年神品也。 濤又識 [印]陳仁濤; Title on frontispiece by Li Dongyang 李東陽 (1447–1516).; 33 additional seals: 1 seal of Li Chao-heng 李肇亨 (1592–1664)：檇李李肇亨書畫記; 9 seals of Liang Qingbiao 梁清標 (1620–1691): 蒼巖子、蕉林、蕉林梁氏書畫之印、蕉林秘玩、蕉林書屋、蕉林玉立氏圖書、棠邨 (appears twice)、棠邨審定; 1 seal of Wang Yirong (1845–1900): 懿榮; 3 seal of Li Yanshan (1898–1961): 雙銕笛樓 (appears twice)、硯山心賞; 12 seals of Chen Rentao 陳仁濤（1906–1968）：陳氏仁濤、陳仁濤珍藏印、金匱寶藏·陳氏仁濤 (appears three times)、金匱秘笈、金匱室、金匱室精鑒璽 (appears twice)、金匱室主、金匱神品、仁濤奇緣; 1 seal: 崐溟居士; 1 seal: 林止在㭯生圖書印; 3 seals unidentified.
