Seven horses in various colors and poses on a light background with vertical text
Detailed Description
A long, horizontal artwork on aged, light-colored paper depicts a procession of seven horses from left to right. The background is a plain, light beige with faint vertical lines and discoloration. On the far left, a partial view of a light-colored horse is visible. To its right, a black horse rears on its hind legs, its head turned towards the viewer. Behind the black horse, a light brown horse stands facing right. Above these horses, vertical Japanese text is visible, including "馬足", "黒", and "栗毛", some within red rectangular outlines. Further to the right, a white or light grey horse walks forward, its head slightly lowered. Above this horse, text reads "五明". To its right, another light grey horse stands, with text "白毛" above it. Next, a light brown horse with a darker mane and tail stands, lifting one front leg, with text "鹿毛" above. The final horse on the far right is a light tan color, standing still and facing right. Above this horse, text includes "ハロック" and "ツキミツ". All horses are rendered with subtle shading, giving them a three-dimensional quality against the flat background.
