Rooster and Chicks

大雛小雛図 Image

A rooster watches carefully over a flock of plump, waddling chicks, his facial expression humorously expressing delight in protecting his family. Qi Baishi often painted chicks based on careful real-life observation. Here too, he creates variation in the feet and legs, the orientation of the bodies, and other elements to bring these tiny painted birds to life.
