Horizontal artwork showing horses, riders, and trees in a green landscape, with columns of text
Detailed Description
This horizontal artwork is divided into two main sections: a painted landscape on the left and a section of calligraphic text on the right. The painted portion depicts a hilly, green landscape with areas of brown ground. In the upper left, two dark horses appear to be running across a lighter brown patch. Below them, towards the lower left, a reddish-brown horse with a lighter belly stands facing right, while another lighter-colored horse stands to its right, facing left. On a prominent green hill in the middle-right, a large, dark-leafed tree with some reddish foliage stands, accompanied by several other dark trees. Below this tree, a figure dressed in a red garment rides a dark horse, facing right. To the right of this rider, another lighter-colored horse stands. The entire painted scene has a muted, earthy color palette. The right section of the artwork features multiple columns of black calligraphic text, arranged vertically on a light, aged paper background. Several red seals or stamps are visible within and around the text.
