Swallow and Lotus is a 1204 unspecified by Fachang Muqi, a ming_painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a swallow in flight above a lotus blossom. The lotus is a special flower in Chinese art, often symbolizing growth and beauty. It's interesting that the artist chose to pair it with a swallow, which might represent freedom or change. You can learn more about this style by looking up the work of Fachang Muqi (Chinese, 1220–1280).
