Cat and Butterfly by Min Zhen

Min Zhen (Chinese, 1730โ€“after 1788) ~ Cat and Butterfly, ca. 1788 (ink on paper). From Album of Miscellaneous Subjects | src Cleveland museum of art

Min Zhen painted this album for his friend Dailili Shanren in exchange for a scholarโ€™s stone.

Cat and butterfly [ ่ฒ“ๅ’Œ่ด่ถ ] are homophones for the characters โ€œmao dieโ€ ่€„่€‹ (octogenarian), so this painting expresses hope that the artist’s friend will live a long life.
