Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a man on horseback and another man on the ground. The man on horseback is wearing a long robe and a hat, sitting on a horse that appears to be surrounded by clouds. The horse faces left, with its head turned to the right; its tail streams behind it. The man on the ground is wearing a robe and a headband; he holds a long staff in his right hand. He appears to be crouching or falling to the ground, looking up towards the man on horseback. There are trees to the left and hills in the background. The artwork is rendered in black and white with some red stamps. The background is a light brown color. The artwork appears to have a decorative border around the edges. The image depicts a scene from a traditional Asian narrative. The artwork is titled "Daoist Immortal" and was created by Hanabusa Itchō.
