《读碑窠石图》是五代时期李成与王晓合作创作的绢本墨色画。现存于日本大阪市立美术馆。

 

There should be two lines of text on the stele in the painting: "Li Cheng painted the trees and stones" and "Wang Xiao added the portrait", but there is no such test in the existing painting, so it is believed to be a copy.

 

图中残碑上应有小字二行,一书李成画树石,一书王晓补人物,但现存此图中已无此二行小字,所以一说为摹本。
