Two Horses

Unidentified

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two horses, one dark brown and one white, running to the right. The dark brown horse is in front, and the white horse is behind. Both horses have their manes and tails blowing in the wind. The horses are running on a flat surface, with a large tree to the left and a rocky outcropping in the foreground. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that extend up and to the right. The background is a light beige color. There are several lines of Chinese characters written vertically on the right side of the image. The image has a beige border around it.
