Takebe Sōchō

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man and a woman on horseback. The man wears a brown hat, an orange robe with white trim, and holds a bow and what appears to be two dead birds. He sits on a horse with a spotted brown tail; the horse's body is not visible. The woman, dressed in a white robe and green pants, rides behind him and holds a stick or branch. A white dog runs alongside them. The background of the painting is a light beige color with a brown border. The style of the painting appears to be traditional Japanese.
