Rabbits and Sweet Osmanthus

Artist: Cui Zifan (1915-2011)

A painting of rabbits and osmanthus under the mid-autumn moon.

Since rabbits are usually related to the Chinese classic legend Chang'e flying to the moon, many paintings about the Mid-Autumn Festival use rabbits to heighten the mid-autumn atmosphere.
