註：白石老人好寫牽牛，早歲嘗以梅蘭芳所植牽牛入畫，長枝漫垂，花色靛藍，大如茶碗，此乃寫真，求其活潑，未及構圖之講究。隨年齒益增，筆下手段越見老辣，尤以紅花墨葉，錯落夾陳，更呈色墨相配之妙。他九十二歲寫有一本，題曰「予借山於曉霞山之西大岩之東岩之牽牛，常有花大如斗，予九十二歲時，一日翻舊簏得予少時手本，九十二始用之。」考其構圖，無枝幹依傍，無竹籬支撐，花如空懸，或待放，或盛開，皆翹首仰望，粗藤蔓枝，佈於下方，如蛇行蚓爬，交結糾纏，幾已掙脫寫生所得之自然生長形態，全出一己意造，了無束縳。本幅取法接近「九十二歲本」，惟佈局縱放中自生嚴謹之序，花葉穿插，分佈有致，滿蓋畫面，葉寬如掌伸，前後掩映，偶露縫隙間，隱約可見枝蔓曲折連綴，牽牛塗洋紅，色燦若火，於墨葉襯托下，益見醒目。因花葉溢滿，為免有礙畫面完整，白石遂捨長題，僅濃墨署「白石老人」，筆意相連，恰與畫中枝蔓交纏相對照，足見經營之巧妙。上無署年，從構圖筆墨推知，應屬九十歲後所出。
