《古梅图》轴，清康熙二十一年（1682年），朱耷绘，纸本，墨笔，纵96厘米，横55厘米。

　　图绘一株古梅树，根部无土，树心中空，旁枝上数朵梅花盛开，显示出顽强的生命力。根据画中的自题诗：“梅花画里思思肖”而知，此图是朱耷仿宋遗民画家郑思肖画兰不着土、以暗示国土为异族人所夺之意的画作，表达了他对明朝的怀念之情。图中用笔苍健有力，线条粗犷，多方硬曲折。施墨枯润结合，富有表现力。此图是朱耷中年时期的代表作。

　　本幅朱耷自题三首，分别款署：“驴屋驴书”，钤“字日年”朱文印；“壬小春又题”，钤“驴”朱文印；“夫婿殊驴”。“壬小春”是指清康熙二十一年（1682年），朱耷时年57岁。

　　幅下有罗朝汉题记。鉴藏印有“惠祖斋”朱文印、“大兴刘铨福家世守印”白文印。
