《墨兰图》卷，宋，赵孟坚作，纸本，淡墨，纵34.5cm，横90.2cm。

　　本幅款署“彜齋趙子固仍賦”。钤“子固寫生”一印。墨兰是赵孟坚善画的题材。画面上绘墨兰二株，呈放射状的长叶参差错落，分合交叉，俯仰伸展。自题诗曰：“六月湘衡暑氣蒸，幽香一噴冰人清。曾將移入浙西種，一歲才華一兩莖。”诗中表露了作者孤高脱俗的思想境界。

　　图中运笔柔中带刚，花朵及兰草叶均一笔点划，土坡用飞白笔轻拂，略加点苔。兰叶皆用淡墨，花蕊墨色微浓，变化含蓄，形成墨色对比。画虽为水墨，但格调高雅，“远胜着色”。其好友周密曾云：“赵孟坚墨兰最得其好，其叶如铁花，茎亦佳，……前人无此作也。”

　　清卞永誉《式古堂书画汇考》、吴升《大观录》、安岐《墨缘汇观》、吴修《青霞馆论画绝句》等书著录。
