Beauty

A close-up ink-and-wash study of a cat rendered in mottled rust-orange and grey-brown tones against a plain cream background, its head lowered and gaze cast downward, one foreleg extended below the frame. The fur is built from soft, marbled washes with fine white linework outlining the ears, muzzle, and paw, while a red seal appears at the left edge and the artist's signature, "Weiqi Wang," at the lower right. Titled *Beauty*, this 2014 work by Weiqi Wang is executed in Chinese brush painting.
