《圆信像》轴,明崇祯十六年(1643年),张琦绘,绢本,设色,纵129.7cm,横78.8cm。
此图绘僧人圆信坐像。本幅左侧中部款署:“癸未冬日,绣水弟子张琦敬写。”下钤“张琦之印”、“玉可氏”印2方。上诗堂有圆信自题像赞,款署:“癸未冬八日自赞,示西堂、形山、径山,七十三青狮翁注。”画与题为同一年,据考此癸未当为明崇祯十六年(1643年)。
图中所绘是圆信大师73岁时像,大师身着赭色僧服,披红色袈裟,右手执拂尘,左手自然地置于腹部,端坐椅上。披发微髭,相貌清癯,面部轮廓清晰,凹凸感强烈,用色与墨渲染,几乎没有线条的痕迹,表现得极为传神。在“波臣派”创始人曾鲸的作品中一般只注重人物面部的细微刻画,而在此幅波臣派画家的作品中,服饰道具等都表现得非常精细,可见张琦在绘画方面的深厚功力。
