Crimson Golden Mouse: Abundant Harvest & New Fortune | LAI’s "Crimson Guardian Beasts Series" | Original Zodiac Rat Oil Painting

A delightful fortune-bringing piece from WeicaGallery exclusive artist Zhouping LAI’s "Crimson Guardian Beasts Series", this painting reinterprets the Zodiac Rat with an adorable golden hamster as the model, continuing the series’ signature vintage crimson pearlescent textured background. The rich, retro crimson creates a gentle contrast with the hamster’s fluffy golden-and-white fur, echoing the series’ theme of "prosperous fortune" while transforming the traditional slender rat into a round, endearing "little fortune mouse".

The artwork captures the hamster’s cute demeanor with hyperrealist precision: its large, round black eyes are clear and innocent, its pink nose and tiny mouth are exquisitely detailed, and its black ears stand bright and alert. With a plump, ball-like body covered in thick, fluffy fur, it looks like a little hamster that has just finished gathering grain—adorable and charming. The artist’s attention to detail is impeccable: the translucency of the white down, the luster of the golden fur, and the delicacy of the fine whiskers are all rendered lifelike, evoking a tangible softness. Presented in a slim matte white floating frame with a borderless design, it maximizes the hamster’s cute expression, exuding understated luxury and infusing any space with a soothing, fortune-attracting charm.
