《高士图》卷，五代，卫贤作，绢本，设色，纵134.5cm，横52.5cm。

　　本幅无款识，卷前有宋徽宗赵佶瘦金书标题“衛賢高士圖”，虽为立幅，但装裱成手卷形式，是北宋内府“宣和装”。

　　描绘汉代隐士梁鸿与妻孟光“相敬如宾，举案齐眉”的故事。画家把梁鸿的居所安排在山环水绕的大自然中，全幅上半部为巨峰壁立，远山苍茫，下半部为竹树蓊郁，溪水潺潺。人物活动在画面中部，恰是观者的视觉中心：梁鸿端坐于榻，竹案上书卷横展，孟光双膝跪地，饮食盘盏高举齐眉。主人公神态坦然平和，虽房舍简陋、粗食布衣，但高人隐士志在山野的高洁志趣令人油然而生敬意。

　　此图虽为主题人物画，实则集山水、人物、建筑画为一体。山石多用干笔皴擦，注意用墨色的深浅对比强调峰岫的凹凸和凝重的质感，石上干笔点苔的技法更是画家的独创。房屋和木栏栅篱用界笔描绘，结构交待严谨清楚，并能表现出一定的立体感和纵深关系，是今天我们能见到的传世卷轴画中年代最早的以界笔“植柱构梁”的建筑画迹之一。

　　此图曾经宋周密《云烟过眼录》，明张丑《清河书画舫》、清孙承泽《庚子销夏记》、安岐《墨缘汇观》、《石渠宝笈·续编》、阮元《石渠随笔》等书著录，是一件递藏有绪、鉴定界公认的五代卫贤真迹。

 

--------Introduction in English--------

 

"Gaoshitu" Volume, Five Dynasties, Wei Xian's Works, Silk, Colouring, 134.5 cm in length, 52.5 cm in transverse.

The title of Zhao You's thin gold book of Song Huizong, Wei Xian Gaoshi Tu, is in the form of handwritten scroll, which is the Xuanhua and Decoration of the Inner Government of Northern Song Dynasty.

Describes the story of Liang Hong, a hermit in the Han Dynasty, and Meng Guang, his wife, "respecting each other as guests, raising cases with equal eyebrows". The painter arranges Liang Hong's residence in the nature surrounded by mountains and rivers. The first half of the whole picture is built by huge peaks, the distant mountains are vast, the second half is covered by bamboo trees and rivers are rippling. Character activities in the middle of the picture are the visual center of the viewer: Liang Hongduan sits on the couch, books spread across the bamboo case, Meng Guang kneels, food dishes raised eyebrows. The protagonist has a calm and peaceful manner. Although the house is simple and rough, he eats cloth and clothes roughly, the noble aspiration of the hermits in the mountains is highly respected.

Although this picture is a thematic figure painting, it is actually a combination of landscape, figure and architectural painting. Hills and stones are mostly rubbed with dry brushes. The contrast of shades of ink emphasizes the concave and convex and dignified texture of peaks and headlands. The technique of dried brushes dotting moss on rocks is the originality of painters. House and wooden fence are depicted with boundary pen, the structure is precise and clear, and it can show a certain sense of three-dimensional and deep relationship. It is one of the earliest architectural paintings in the handed-down scroll paintings that we can see today with boundary pen "planting pillars and building beams".

This picture was once recorded in Song Zhou Mi's Eye Record of Clouds and Smoke, Ming Zhang Chou's Calligraphy and Painting in Qing River, Qing Sun Chengze's Gengzi Selling Xia Ji, An Qi's Moyuan Huiguan, Shiqu Baoji, Succession, Ruan Yuan's Essays on Shiqu, and so on. It is a well-known and well-known trace of Wei Xian of five generations in the field of identification.
