Frogs 1978

Ding Yanyong's "Frogs" is a 1978 ink and wash painting depicting a lively group of frogs amidst a background of flowing lines representing reeds. The artist's signature, written in black ink, is prominently displayed on the right side, while a red seal with a single Chinese character is also noticeable in the lower left corner. The simplicity of the brushstrokes and minimal color palette evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony, characteristic of traditional Chinese ink wash painting. The artist's dynamic use of line suggests movement and energy, capturing the essence of the frogs' playful nature.
