The artwork, titled “Frogs,” was created by the artist Qi Baishi in the year 1948. It belongs to the art movement known as Ink and Wash painting, and it falls under the genre of animal painting.
The artwork, rendered in a monochromatic palette, features several frogs depicted in dynamic, expressive poses. The artist utilized bold brushstrokes and intricate lines to capture the essence and movement of these amphibians. The frogs are positioned asymmetrically, creating a sense of spontaneity and liveliness. On the right side of the composition, Chinese calligraphy is elegantly inscribed, adding an element of textual balance to the visual portrayal. The simplicity and minimalism of the background draw attention to the masterful technique used to bring these creatures to life, exemplifying Qi Baishi’s skill in traditional Chinese ink painting.
