《兰图》扇页,明,居节绘,纸本,墨笔,纵16cm,横45cm。
扇页有自题:“居节戏笔。”钤“居仲”白文印。
图绘一丛幽兰,兰叶左右纷披,兰花上仰下垂,表现出自然天成的意趣。全图以中锋行笔,润泽劲健的笔墨风格极近文徵明,兰叶用笔舒展流畅,穿插有序,疏放得体;兰花隽秀清怡,给人以清高拔俗的美感。画幅正中有今燕题诗,落款:“留别元凯兄北上。今燕写。”今燕本姓赵,名彩姬,字今燕,是位名冠北里的明代南院妓女。由此可见居节的画作被时人喜爱,甚至被妓家作为与友人离别的赠品。

Lantu Fan Page, Ming Dynasty, Jujie Painting, Paper, Ink, 16cm in length and 45cm in breadth.
The fan page has its own title: "Jujie Drama Pen". Jun "Juzhong" white print.
Picture a clump of orchids, orchid leaves scattered around, orchids hanging up, showing a natural interest. The whole picture is written by a centre-forward, with a moist and vigorous brush and ink style that is very close to the text. The orchid leaves are stretched and fluent with their brushes, interlaced in an orderly manner and laid out appropriately. The orchids are meaningful and delightful, giving people a sense of beauty of elegance and vulgarity. In the middle of the picture, there is a poem inscribed on Yan, which reads: "Say goodbye to Brother Yuankai and go north." Today Yan writes. Yanben is Zhao, Caiji and Jinyan. She is a prostitute in Nanyuan of Ming Dynasty, whose name is Beili. Thus it can be seen that the paintings of Jujie are loved by the people of the time, and even used by prostitutes as gifts for departure from friends.
