Provenance

龔賢　谿山高隱圖　水墨絹本　立軸村田香谷題内匣內附大阪市立美術館證書並水越成章書函
内匣：此幅雲山清秀，秋樹蕭踈，竹間有屋，高士靜坐，令見者塵心頓消。非龔翁，誰能至此妙乎？甲辰（1904）新正，題籖並識，香谷叔。
款識：高臥此中堪白首，不知人世有紅塵。龔賢作。
大阪市立美術館證書：編號110號，谿山高隱圖，龔賢筆一幅，兵庫縣吉田金之介氏藏。
水越成章書函：龔半千賢掃除谿徑，獨出幽異，自謂前無古人，後無來者。但墨太濃重，沉雄深厚中無清踈秀逸之趣。余昔見一小幀，筆墨極淡逸，與習見者不同，知此老之畫非一味濃重也。半千，崑山人，流寓金陵，結盧於清涼山下，葺半畝園，栽花蒔竹，悠然自得。性孤僻，與人落落難合。詩文不敢苟作，嘔心扶髓而後成，惟恐一字落人後。所著畫訣，言近旨，遠精確，不磨初學，最宜探討。與樊圻、高岑、鄒喆、吴宏、葉欣、胡造、謝蓀為金陵八家。右秦祖永〈桐陰論畫〉所載，抄出以充參照。戊午（1918）之秋，耕南老人。
鈐印：龔賢印、野遺藏印：（村田）村田叔印、香谷（水越）水越成章、裁之
出版：《支那古美術聚英》，大阪市立美術館編纂，京都市，昭和十四年（1939），圖版43
