註：本幅以紅葉綬帶入畫，喻祝壽之意，贈近代報業先驅胡霖（1889-
1949）。胡氏乃四川成都人，接辦天津〈大公報〉後，經營有方，銷路以
至影響輿論，皆被奉為中國近代報業之翹楚。于非闇早歲曾兼職於報
界，後專注繪畫仍筆耕不輟，與新聞界關係良好。一九四八年，正值
胡霖花甲之慶，遂寫此致賀。畫上具「曾作無冕皇帝」印，于氏鮮有鈐
用，今偶一用之，蓋兩人皆涉新聞工作。且與胡氏生於同年，上款遂
以「年大人」尊稱之。
畫中謂寫「壽安山紅葉雙壽」，西山紅葉乃舊京秋景之勝，壽安山處
西山東部，紅葉即為黃櫨樹葉。于氏狀其貌，葉片見圓實，面舖朱
砂、背敷淡赭，極具質感，色燦紅若火，正值秋深盛開之期。綬帶一
雙，高低分立枝頭，一俯身探首，如引吭呼朋，一抬頭仰望，似聞聲
相應，其通體色呈淡黃，頭部以墨罩染，與殷紅相襯，畫面頓見鮮麗
明亮，典雅之氣派自生，正合畫家謂用唐人法寫之。唐畫真迹存世無
幾，于氏曾提及並臨摹者僅〈簪花仕女圖〉，若以他節臨該畫之版本與
本幅相比，或可知其用色取法所自。
