Painted in 1895 by Ren Yi, this hanging scroll depicts roosters as an emblem of the 'five virtues' traditionally associated with the bird in Chinese culture: civility, courage, benevolence, trustworthiness, and military spirit. It is one of Ren Yi's late, mature works, marked by loose brushwork and rich tonal ink washes. The painting is held in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
