The Five Nobilities
Yu Feian Chinese
Not on view
The artist called this painting The Five Nobilities, a play on the fact that the word for “sparrow” (que 雀) sounds like the word for “noble rank” (jue 爵). According to the artist’s inscription, he copied the composition after a painting attributed to the Song dynasty emperor Huizong (1082–1135).
