Seven-Character Poem in Semi-Cursive Script (Translation)
行書張玉德香雪齋雁字回文詩 清嘉慶 梁同書 灑金黃箋立軸 (Primary Title)
Liang Tongshu 梁同書, Chinese, 1723 - 1815 (Artist)
Regarded as one of the greatest calligraphers of his time, Liang Tongshu, son of court official Liang Shizheng (1697–1763), achieved fame at a young age. Like many Chinese calligraphers, Liang studied the style of earlier great calligraphers such as Su Shi and Mi Fu; however, he later developed his own style, writing with a continuous, rhythmic flow.

秋風景晚妙吟哦，草創長天任改摩。鉤補月中毫脫兔，卷飛沙上畫籠鵝。籌添海屋連書貯，筆背雲文帶雨過。幽興野田閒落款，遒清墨跡履霜莎。己巳長至日， 山舟梁同書 (Transcribed a poem by Zhang Yude, signed and dated: written by Liang Tongshu on the Changzhiri [Summer Solstice] of the jisi year)
