養懶圖。世上好多荒唐事，累殺不少正經人。老春生性懶散，胸無大志，常以無事為養，有閑為求也。壬寅新正，半客錢塘在懶懶居

Description
Two figures lounge contentedly beneath a flowering tree while envious birds look on, a wry celebration of the art of doing nothing. The inscription proclaims: "The world is full of absurd affairs, exhausting many serious people," followed by the declaration that "having nothing to do is cultivation, and seeking leisure is a goal." This New Literati painting makes a philosophical case for laziness as wisdom, gently subverting modern productivity culture with humor, warmth, and Daoist-inflected insight.
