INSCRIPTION: BAMBOO IN THE SNOW
霜枝帶雪投石臥,窣窸如聞碎玉聲。
月底見臥石雪竹,欣然得句,急以指墨圖之。

印:「鳳」「翰」
Frosted branches laden with snow tap against the tilted stone; in the whispering wind the sound is like shattering jade.
Under the moon, [I] saw the reclining stone, snow and bamboo; [I was] pleased, coming up with the verse, and quickly used my fingers to paint this.
