闵贞,清画家。江西南昌人，侨居湖北汉口，字正斋，或呼闵騃子（闵騃子一作闵骏子）。善书画篆刻。尤工山水、写意人物，笔墨超逸。 (姓氏联典·闵- 推荐“奇联绝对” - 中国便民在线论坛诚信)
闵贞人物画有粗笔与细笔两种画法，粗笔者逸笔草草，笔墨酣畅，如“八子观灯图”，“蕉阴仕女图”等。细笔人物画则工整华丽，如此幅“隽堂居士像”。隽堂为清代著名书法、篆刻家巴慰祖。图中巴慰祖，面目清癯、身着红衣，盘坐于兰地华丽的蒲垫上，造型如坐佛一般，显的很庄重。闵贞工笔人物线描出于李公麟，一丝不苟，可见闵贞是一位能收能放的人物画家。
当时求他作画的人很多，相传两湖总督曾强迫他画像，他远逃北京，不肯屈服；在北京，又有梁显宦勒令其作画，他宁可受辱挨饿，也不肯落笔。但对贫贱者的求画，无不应允，甚至主动作画借金接济。其作品，对朝鲜画家曾产生过一定的影响。兼工刻印，不秦汉遗意。

闵贞,字正斋。号蓼塘居士。江右人(江西南昌)。侨寓汉口。有孝行，称“闵孝子”。早丧父母，为追写双亲遗像，苦练苦画。善画笔墨奇纵、奔放沉雄大写意，亦能画工整精细之作。善山水,魄力沉雄,颇得巨然神趣。人物笔墨奇纵,衣纹随意转折,豪迈绝伦,仕女善作直笔钩勒,益远益妍。其白描罗汉几欲乱李公麟之真。兼精写真。幽闲静逸，无一纵横习气。其作品有《钟南进士图》、《石上打枣图》、《揽衣微步图》、《傍石于云图》、《五老携童图》等。工篆刻，闵氏姓氏楹联中“正斋秦汉志；仲叔节士风”，其中的“正斋”就是指的闵贞，被誉有“秦汉遗志”，足见其对后世影响程度之深。
 

闵贞：号正斋。清朝广济人。学绘事，追摹其父母像而奉把之。远近称为孝了。旁 通绘画山水花鸟，尤精于篆刻，朱鸳。翁方纲皆器重之。(闵姓_雅虎知识堂)翁方纲序其奉馔图亦曰广济人：予从来不轻为人作序，诚以无所发明，则序不作可也。广济孝子正斋闵君绘其二亲为奉馔图，当世贤而有文者既皆诗之矣，何以序为？闵君将归，抱其册来，泣谓予曰：「诸君子所言者多誉某之孝耳。某何敢言孝，顾未有一语及於吾先人之为人者，则某奚以即安？」予告之曰：此奉馔者，子职也。惟子职是供，则惟子职是述。奚其及於尊亲哉？闵君则抚图以泣，若不胜其痛者良久。予再三问以二老人之行谊，则闵君惟有称其淳古笃实朴厚之状，若摹於目而绘於手者。嗟乎，此真言语所不能传而图绘所不能尽者也。凡言语可以传，图绘可以尽者，皆非其真也。世间长松千尺，灵芝九茎，裂山石而感风雷者，皆是物也。嗟乎，此焉得不为之序乎！於是序其质直之语以为是图後序。
