《虞山枫林图》轴，清，王翚作，纸本，设色，纵146.4cm ，横61.7cm。
虞山在王翚的家乡，他朝夕于斯，探奇领幽，得其胜趣，虞山的各处美景便成了他画作中的重要题材。在这幅为友人绘制的《虞山枫林图》中，王翚以高远法构图，秀峰叠现，碧树层出，苍翠凌天，烟岚弥漫，曲径依山势蜿蜒而下，小桥斜衔溪水两岸，村居散落水畔林内，火红的枫叶隐现于青松碧柏之间，正是一派虞山初冬的醉人佳景。整幅图画雄美中见雅致，严谨而又不失生动，群山多用披麻皴，行笔秀润，设色明丽，堪为佳构。
清初“四王”虽均以仿古著称，但其中又有分别。王时敏、王鉴、王原祁是宗法黄公望为主，兼及旁人，王翚则有所不同。学画之初，他也对黄公望用功最勤，自从拜王鉴、王时敏为师后，他广览古画佳品，锐意临仿，“凡唐宋元明诸家无不摹仿逼古”，“笔墨神韵一一独真”，终集众家之大成，融汇贯通，风貌自成。王翚早期（40岁以前）的创作并非一味沉浸于模仿前人的图画，他对实景的写生是比较注重的。他曾遍游大江南北，徜徉在名山大川之中，包揽秀丽山色，有诸多写生之作。《虞山枫林图》是王翚早期以临仿为主时的代表作，也是他描绘家乡美景的写生精品，山水法取黄公望笔意，略作变化，有平淡天真之趣。以古人笔法，写眼前胜景，格调明快生动，形神必备，独具自然天趣，正是王翚迥于其他“三王”之处。
本幅上有小楷自题：“戊申小春既望，伊人道長見過虞山看楓葉，枉駕荒齋，述勝遊之樂，臨行並囑余圖其景，因成此幅奉寄，時長至後三日也。虞山弟王翚。”下钤“王翚之印”。其右为吴伟业行书题七绝一首：“初冬景物未蕭條，紅葉青山色尚嬌。一幅天然圖畫裏，維摩僧寺破山樵。戊申嘉平爲伊人社長題畫。吳偉業。”下钤“吳偉業”印一及引首印“梅花庵”。另有鉴赏印三方：“致遠堂珍賞”、“鶴舟所藏”、“紫雪山房鑒藏書畫印”。
戊申为康熙七年(1668年)，王翚时年37岁。
--------Introduction in English--------
Maple Forest Maple of Yushan Mountain" axis, Qing Dynasty, Wang Fei's work, paper, color, vertical 146.4 cm, horizontal 61.7 cm.
Mount Yushan is in Wang Qi's hometown. He spends all day and night exploring strange things and gaining interest. The beautiful scenery of Mount Yushan has become an important theme in his paintings. In this "Maple Forest Maple of Yushan Mountain" drawn for friends, Wang Fei uses the lofty method to compose the picture. Xiufeng overlaps, green trees emerge, green sky, smoke is diffuse, winding paths follow the mountain trend, bridges on both sides of the stream, villages live in scattered water forests, red maple leaves are hidden between the green pine and the green cypress, which is a fascinating sight in the early winter of Yushan Mountain. The whole picture is magnificent and elegant, rigorous and vivid. Mountains are mostly covered with hemp, with beautiful brushwork and bright colors. It is a good composition.
Although the "four kings" in the early Qing Dynasty were famous for imitating ancient times, there were differences among them. Wang Shimin, Wang Jian and Wang Yuanqi are mainly patriarchal Huang Gongwang and others. Wang Fei is different. At the beginning of learning painting, he was also the most diligent to Huang Gongwang. Since Wang Jianwang and Wang Shimin were teachers, he had a good view of ancient paintings and was eager to imitate them. "Every family in Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty imitated the ancient style" and "the charm of ink and brush is unique", which finally brought together the great success of all the schools, blended together and formed their own style. Wang Fei's early creation (before 40 years old) was not blindly immersed in imitating the pictures of his predecessors. He paid more attention to realistic sketches. He has traveled all over the river, north and south, wandering among the famous mountains and rivers, covering the beautiful mountains, there are many sketches. The Maple Forest Maple of Yushan Mountain is Wang Fei's representative work in his early period when Ling imitated as the main body, and also his fine sketch of the beautiful scenery of his hometown. The landscape method takes Huang Gongwang's brushwork as his brushwork, making a slight change, which is plain and naive. It is Wang Jian's unique natural interest to write about the scenic spots in front of his eyes with the ancient style, vivid style, necessary form and spirit, which is what distinguishes him from other "three kings".
In this picture, there is a small Kai self-titled: "Wu Shen Xiaochun is looking forward to, Yiren has long seen Yushan to see maple leaves, to drive in vain, to describe the pleasure of traveling, to visit and to order the rest of the picture, because this picture was sent to you for three days. Yushan younger brother Wang Yi." Xiajun "Seal of Wang Ki". On the right is Wu Weiye's seven best titles: "The early winter scenery is not depressed, the red leaves and green hills are still beautiful. A natural picture shows the Vimo Monk Monastery breaking mountains and woods. Wu Shen Jiaping inscribed paintings for Iraqi president. Wu Weiye." Xiajun "Wu Weiye" Yinyi and lead printing "Plum Blossom Ancient". There are also three appreciation seals: "Zhiyuan Tang Treasure", "Crane Boat Collection", "Zixueshan Fangjian Bibliographic Seal".
Wushen was seven years old in Kangxi (1668), and Wang was 37 years old.
