張大千 宴李祖萊伉儷菜單
水墨紙本 未裝裱 鏡框
款識:臘月十七日讌祖萊七弟、德英弟媳。
酒蒸家鳧、乾燒魚翅、素燴（魚糕、魚肚、紅蔓青、口蘑、菜心、萵苣、芹菜、麵筋、蘑芋）、蠔油鰒魚、汆牛肚片、大烏參、金鈎白菜、清湯獅子頭、蜜漬山藥。
上款:「祖萊七弟、德英弟媳」即李祖萊（1910-1986）、李德英伉儷。李祖萊乃鎮海小港李氏七子,李氏一門與張大千交誼深厚,三姊秋君乃其紅顏知交,兄祖韓、祖桐亦屬摯友。四十年代末赴香港,大千在港事務多委付其處理。七十年代移居臺灣,專職經紀大千書畫事宜,並受大千委托擔任其遺囑執行人。
註:大千先生性好客,又嗜飲食之道,其家宴菜式精緻,在友輩中素享盛譽。他自擬菜式,親筆書菜單,如此形式未見於同輩書畫家作品中。
據家人說,大千之菜品,用料、做法皆經其改良,乃獨家秘製,別處難覓,比如獅子頭,口感偏肥,綿軟而不膩,大千每食之胃口極佳。

張葆蘿兒女珍藏書畫（編號6065-6085）
張心一（1931-2017）,名約,又名葆蘿,大千三子,出生於安徽郎溪。一九四九年政局變異,隨大千定居海外的兒女中,以葆蘿最年長,也能讀寫中文,陪伴父親時間最久,隨侍筆硯外,為家中大小事務打點奔走,擔當半個當家人,辛勞可知,亟得乃父信賴。葆蘿擅畫,七十年代,父子在美國曾屢次舉辦聯合畫展,大千在其潑墨作品上題「老夫自有傳家筆,任笑元章善譽兒」,以米芾父子作比,對其傳承衣鉢讚許有加。
本輯作品屬葆蘿所藏,泰半乃大千饋贈,囊括四十至八十年代,面貌豐富,且非尋常可見之内容,不少乃自娛自賞。尤難得者,為數件自國内時期已為大風堂珍藏之作,日後去國,四海漂泊,仍長久携帶寶藏,小心呵護,如大千業師曾熙為其所書之〈楷書六言聯〉、一九四八年〈儗宋人青綠山水〉巨扇,堪稱其成扇王者,觸手若新,應極少開啟,不輕示人。此外,一九六四年大千為葆蘿書〈行書七言聯〉,實乃經意之筆,盛載父子深情。人物之緣,聚散有時,而父子情眷,家族記憶,將長伴作品永存！
