萧晨的《东坡博古图》表现的是宋代文人苏轼的生活场景。苏轼，字子瞻，号东坡居士，宋仁宗嘉祜二年(1057)进士，神宗朝迁太常博士，后官至龙图阁学士、端明殿学士、礼部尚书，是北宋杰出的文学家，与其父苏洵、弟苏辙合称"三苏"。他具有多方面的艺术才能，散文、诗歌、词赋、书画的造诣都很高。其为文汪洋恣肆、纵横自如，为"唐宋八大家"之一。他有关艺术创作的思想对后代具有深远的影响。苏轼在文学艺术上的才能受到文人们的推崇，其活动事迹也成为后世文人画家描写的对象。此幅(东坡博古图》就是以东坡善鉴赏、博学为题材创作的绘画作品。
《东坡博古图》布局平稳简约，笔法苍劲，线条转折自如，设色清雅，并有自题:"东坡博古图，前人有其本，考之书史，末见其说，岂好事者为之耶?是扇成于辛亥，时余年已称古稀有四矣，强弩之末犹有可观，然弄粉涂朱亦可愧也。兰陵萧晨并识。"旁边钤印一方。从其题款可知此扇面是萧晨晚年的作品。
       此画共绘有四个人物，均布于长条书案前后。近处二人一背一侧，侧坐者一手托着古器，背坐着的人转身扭头与之相对，似在交谈，神态悠闲自然。二人虽然位居前景，但由于位置低，形体比例小些，因而依然是陪衬。书案上，右方安放三件古器，左上方安放两件古器。画中的主人翁东坡先生正面对着观者而坐，双手平放于书案，展卷远望，作思索之状。身旁站立一书童，双手捧着一捆书画卷。画中的人物和器物都围绕着博古鉴文这一主题展开，意境清新雅致，气氛文雅和谐。在人物造型上，东坡先生的形象在四人中略显大些，以便更好地突出"东坡博古"的主题。人物的衣纹舒展流畅、疏密对比有致，用笔刚劲有力、工中带写。为了表达苏东坡知识渊博和精神的高远，衣纹采用了方硬的折芦描。而他画的《洛神图》的扇面采用了高古游丝描，以显示洛神的飘逸轻盈的神态。这说明萧晨在创作上能根据不同的表现对象和意境而选择具体笔法和线描。
       人物面部渲染得十分充分，衣服多是根据衣纹的转折用淡墨稍微分染出皱褶的凹凸。书童的衣服用淡蓝色渲染，突出线条的造型美感。画面上人物的冠巾与两把座椅为重墨，与其他处形成对比，使画面更为醒目。器物采用墨彩相冲之法积染而成，活泼自然又有古意。画的右下方钤两方印;一白文"惠均长寿"，一朱文"晴庐"，此为满族画家兼收藏家惠孝同(1902- 1979年，原名惠均，别号晴庐)之印。此与左上方的印章相呼应，在构图中起到了平衡作用。已是古稀之年的萧晨还能在扇面这样的小幅画中，把人物神态刻画得如此细致生动，完全达到了形神兼备的艺术境界，还是非常可贵的。因而，可以说这件《东坡博古图》是他艺术成熟时期的佳作。
