Inscriptions

The signature is preceded by a poem of forty characters.
山容珠黯淡
水气亦昏黄
寂寞关城外
萧条处士乡
树馀凋后叶
松映雪中堂
知欲烦云鹤
梅花访冷香

扬州朱鹤年

Rough translation:
The mountain’s visage is like a discolored pearl. 
The mist also grows yellow and tarnished. 
Standing alone beyond the city walls, 
is the desolate dwelling of the hermit. 
Trees kept some leaves after their withering, 
Pines reflect the hall bright in snow.
Knowledge and desires bother the cranes in clouds. 
Plum blossoms visit the cold fragrance.
--By Zhu Henian from Yangzhou
