《湘夫人图》轴，近现代，傅抱石绘，纸本，设色，纵105.2厘米，横60.8厘米。
本幅自题：“湘夫人。帝子降兮北渚，目眇眇兮愁予。袅袅兮秋风，洞庭波兮木叶下，登白苹兮骋望，与佳期兮夕张。鸟萃兮苹中，罾何为兮木上？沅有芷兮澧有兰，思公子兮未敢言，慌忽兮远望，观流水兮潺湲，糜何为兮庭中，蛟何为兮水裔？朝驰余马兮江皋，夕济兮西澨，闻佳人兮召予，将腾兮驾偕逝。筑室兮水中，葺之兮以荷蓋。荃壁兮紫坛，播芳椒兮成堂。桂栋兮兰橑，辛夷楣兮药房。罔薜荔兮为帷，擗蕙櫋兮既张。白玉兮为镇，疏石兰以为芳，芷葺兮荷屋，缭之兮杜衡。合百草兮实庭，建芳馨兮庑门。九嶷缤兮并迎，灵之来兮如云。捐余袂兮江中，遗余褋兮澧浦。搴汀州兮杜若，将以遗兮远者。时不可兮骤得，聊逍遥兮容与。
屈原九歌自古为画家所乐写，龙眠李伯时、子昂赵孟頫其妙迹尤光辉天壤间。子久欲从事，愧未能也。今日小女益珊四周生日，忽与内人时慧出楚辞读之，‘袅袅兮秋风，洞庭波兮木叶下’，不禁彼此无言。盖此时强敌正张焰于沅澧之间。因相量写此，即撷首数语为图。至夫人服饰种种，则损益顾恺之女箴史。中土墨宝，固莫於是云。时民国癸未十一月二十一日，重庆西郊金刚坡下山斋记。新喻傅抱石。”钤“抱石大利”白文方印、“印痴”朱文长方印、“新喻”朱文椭圆印、“其命维新”朱文方印。
癸未为1943年。
又有郭沫若题：“沅湘今日蕙兰焚，别有奇忧罹此君。独立怆然谁可语？梧桐秋叶落纷纷。 夫人矢志离湘水，叱咤风雷感屈平。莫道婵娟空太息，献身慷慨赴幽并。恩来兄以十一月十日，由延安飞渝。十六日适为余五十三初度之辰，友好多来乡居小集。抱石、可染诸兄出展其近制。恩来兄征得此《湘夫人图》，将携回陕北。余思湘境已沦陷，湘夫人自必以能参加游击战为庆幸矣。三十三年十一月廿日。郭沬若。”钤“沫若之印”朱文方印、“戎马书生”白文长方印。
中华民国三十三年为1944年。
傅抱石推重屈原，其诗歌为画家最喜爱的文学作品，遂成为画家的表现对象。《九歌》中的湘君、湘夫人本为传说中尧帝的两位女儿，后来人们将其认作湘水之神，加以尊崇。傅抱石曾反复绘制二女的形象，沉浸其中，乐此不疲。
此图是画家首次图写这一题材，尤显珍贵。其自言作画前正逢日寇侵扰湖南，因与夫人共赏楚辞，见《湘夫人》中的诗句，心生痛恨外敌、苦念国土、心系黎庶之情，便共同精心构思了此幅秋风瑟瑟、落叶飘飘的《湘夫人图》。图中湘夫人默默地立于树下，端庄淑静，仪态万方，仅有飞舞而下的大片落叶相伴左右。眼为心窗，湘夫人之双目，画家先以淡墨勾勒，渐渐加深，形成多层次的墨色变化，深沉而又灵动的双眸跃然纸上，夺人心神。衣纹的线条自然流畅，绝无凝滞之感，既表现出人物的动态，又传达了人物的神韵，极为成功。画面布局简略，紧紧扣住“袅袅兮秋风，洞庭波兮木叶下”之句，人——顾盼生姿，风神自得，叶——俯仰向背，疏密有致，简而有味，简而传神，洵为杰作。
由郭沫若题跋可知，1944年11月16日，郭氏生日，国民政府军事委员会政治部三厅的同事、画家傅抱石和李可染等人到郭家祝寿，正逢时任三厅政治部副主任的周恩来前来看望郭沫若，于是，共同欣赏画家们的近作。因为此图深得周恩来的喜爱，傅抱石便慨然相赠。之后，郭氏手书七绝二首，既表达出对日寇罪行的愤慨，又将湘夫人比作慷慨献身的巾帼英雄，点明了画家为湘夫人画像的良苦初衷。

Quyuan Nine Songs have been written by painters since ancient times. When Long Mian Li Boshi and Zi Ang Zhao Mengfu, their wonderful deeds are especially brilliant in the world. If Zi Jiuwang wants to engage in it for a long time, he deserves to fail. Today, the little girl Yishan's birthday is all around her. Suddenly, when she and her wife read Chu Ci,'The autumn wind is curling and the Dongting Boli leaves are under', they can't help but silence each other.

Guo Moruo also said: "Yuanxiang Huilan burns today, there is no strange worry about this gentleman. Who can speak independently? The autumn leaves of Chinese parasol trees fall in succession. Madame is determined to leave Xiangshui and feel calm in the wind and thunder. Modao Zhaojuan is full of breath and devotes herself generously to traveling to the seclusion.

Jun's "Mao Ruo's Seal" Zhu Wenfang Seal and "Rongma Scholar" Bai Wen Changfang Seal.
The thirty-third year of the Republic of China was 1944.
Fu Baoshi attached great importance to Quyuan, whose poems were his favorite literary works and became the object of artists'expression. Xiangjun and Madame Xiangjun in Nine Songs were originally two daughters of Emperor Yao in legend. Later, people regarded them as the God of Xiangshui and respected them. Fu Baoshi has repeatedly painted the image of two women, immersed in it, never tired of it.
This picture is the first time that a painter has drawn on this subject. It is especially precious. Before he painted, he said that the Japanese invaders invaded Hunan. Because he shared his appreciation of Chu Ci with his wife and saw the poems in Madame Hunan. He felt bitter about foreign enemies, homeland and the common people, so he carefully conceived the picture of Madame Hunan, which was full of autumn wind and falling leaves. In the picture, Mrs. Hunan stood silently under the tree, dignified, quiet and graceful, with only a large number of fallen leaves flying down. The eye is the window of the heart, Mrs. Hunan's eyes, the painter first outlines with light ink, gradually deepening, forming a multi-level change in ink, deep and flexible eyes on the paper, captivating the mind. The lines of the clothes are natural and smooth, without any sense of stagnation. They not only show the dynamics of the characters, but also convey the charm of the characters. They are extremely successful. The layout of the picture is simple, closely clinging to the phrase "the wind curling in autumn, under the leaves of Bolu trees in Dongting". People look forward to their appearance, the spirit of the wind is complacent, the leaves are pitched to the back, dense and concise, simple and tasteful, simple and vivid, and the robe is a masterpiece.
As can be seen from Guo Moruo's inscriptions and postscripts, on November 16, 1944, Guo's birthday, colleagues from the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, painters Fu Baoshi and Li Keran came to Guo's home to celebrate his birthday. Zhou Enlai, then deputy director of the Political Department of the Third Office, came to visit Guo Moruo, and jointly appreciated the painters'recent works. Because this picture was deeply loved by Zhou Enlai, Fu Baoshi gave it to each other. Afterwards, Guo's handwriting, composed of seven masterpieces, not only expresses his indignation at the Japanese aggressors'crimes, but also compares Mrs. Hunan to a hero of generous devotion, which points out the painter's original intention of portraying Mrs. Hunan.
