Squirrel and Grape
- 1868
- 18.0 x 51.0 cm
Liu Deliu"s fan painted in a narrow inky range of colors portrays a squirrel precariously suspended between his goal, a succulent grape, and his curiosity about the intentions of an insect that has lighted on this object. The liveliness of this subject has obvious charm.In his inscription Liu says he is working in the style of Lu Shouping (Lu Zhi, 1496–1576), a Ming artist renowned for his sensitive observations transposed into ink sketches of flowers and birds. Using animation, subtle color and a decorative format, Liu transforms a subject of interest to scholar-artists since the Yuan into a popular image.
