《菊花雄鸡》 齐白石 99.5×46.4cm 中国画 中国美术馆藏

此幅《菊花雄鸡》中，菊花白瓣黄蕊，雄鸡红冠黑羽，杂以棕羽。此鸡右足收起，迈开左足，正在菊花下闲庭信步，怡然自乐。白石老人描绘秋菊的笔法散淡而轻松，刻画公鸡则变以生拙质朴的落笔，将它的厚重沉稳描绘得颇为到位。鸡的身态以及眼中的神气表达得亦为传神，并将一种诙谐幽默的气息传达出来，体现出白石老人对于乡间生活观察的细致入微。他在画面右上部题曰：“借山吟馆主者乘兴挑灯作”，可见白石老人灯下作画的勃勃兴致。

Rooster by Chrysanthemumportrays white petal and yellow pistil of the flower, red crown and black feathers of the rooster, mixed with brown colors. The rooster put away right foot and took the left,strolling under the chrysanthemum with happiness. The style of QI Baishi in depicting the chrysanthemum was pale and relaxing, and that of the rooster was clumsy and simple, fully portraying its thickness and steadiness. The posture and expression of the rooter’s eyes were most vivid and conveyed a kind of witty humor, reflecting his close observation of rural life. He wrote on the upper right of the painting:"A temporary artwork by burning midnight oil",showing his strong interest in painting under the light.
