One Hundred Horses

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an illustration titled "One Hundred Horses" by a Chinese artist. The drawing features two horses in a grassy landscape; one horse faces right and the other faces away. The horse on the right has a short mane and a long tail. The horse on the left is slightly obscured and its head is not visible. The background shows a rocky outcropping and sparse vegetation. The drawing is rendered in black lines on a tan background. The image appears to be a traditional-style ink or pen and ink drawing. The drawing style appears to mimic classic Chinese art.
