《双猫菊石图》,作者王中立,明代画家(公元16-17世纪初),吴县(今江苏苏州)人,具体生卒年不详。王中立的作品笔力苍老,钩写兼用,设色绚丽,造型生动。他师法陈淳,画风似鲁治、王穀祥,为吴派画家之一。画中双猫嬉戏于湖石菊丛之下的草地上。湖石以枯笔钩勒,水墨晕染;菊花以勾花点叶法写出。双猫用笔独特,以细笔简括写出轮廓、毛爪、脸目,用干笔略加敷彩,粗疏雅拙,却有妙趣横生之感,与背景对照鲜明。 “Double Cats Amethyst”, author Wang Zhongli, Ming Dynasty painter (AD 16-17 century), Wu County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) people, the exact date of birth and death is unknown.
