One of his notable works is "Cat," a piece that exemplifies his mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects with both precision and artistic flair. Xu Gu's "Cat" is celebrated for its delicate brushwork and the lifelike portrayal of the feline, which reflects the artist's deep observation and understanding of animal forms and behaviors.

Xu Gu was a monk and a scholar, which influenced his artistic philosophy and practice. His works often embody a sense of tranquility and introspection, qualities that are evident in "Cat." The painting is not merely a representation of an animal but a study in the subtleties of movement and expression, rendered with a sensitivity that invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

The composition of "Cat" is marked by a harmonious balance between the subject and the surrounding space, a hallmark of traditional Chinese painting. Xu Gu's use of ink and color is both restrained and expressive, allowing the viewer to sense the texture of the cat's fur and the softness of its form. The background is typically minimalistic, directing the focus entirely on the cat, which appears poised and alert, capturing a moment of stillness that is both serene and dynamic.

"Cat" by Xu Gu is a testament to the artist's skill and his ability to convey profound simplicity through his work. It remains a significant piece in the study of Chinese art, reflecting the cultural and aesthetic values of the Qing Dynasty while also showcasing Xu Gu's individual artistic vision.
