Inscriptions

永樂癸巳秋七月。隴西邊景昭寫三友百禽圖于長安官舍。
In the seventh month of the guisi year of the Yongle reign, Bian Jingzhao of Longxi painted 'Three Friends and a Hundred Birds' at the official's residence in 'Chang'an'.

Note 1: The guisi year of the Yongle reign translates to the year 1413.
Note 2: The term Chang'an (literally "eternal peace") here was probably in reference to the then capital Nanjing.
