仿唐人龍女禮佛圖題跋 張大千
台灣
此書跡為張大千題跋於仿唐人龍女禮佛圖。龍女禮佛的故事，出自《妙法蓮華經》卷四〈提婆達多品〉，張大千便抄錄此段原文為題語，作為其畫作主旨的文字說明。
張大千字架奇崛開張，用筆強勁多力，使其書法面目極具個人特色。其中筆畫縱橫開張處是從宋代（960～1279）書家黃庭堅而來。再者，張大千還承接了其師在用筆與碑學上的影響，使其字有奇崛澀進之氣，加上具設計感的外形，都是形成其特色字跡的風格因子。此幅書寫樣貌正是其典型風格，恰可作為展現張大千書學的重要作品。
張大千原名正權，後改名爰，小名季，又名季爰。曾出家三個月，法名大千。四川內江人。擅畫山水、花卉、人物，荷繪尤佳，蜚聲國際。
