Horses at Full Gallop
Chinese Horse Painting
A string of horses running across a long horizontal sheet, drawn in ink with a few touches of color. Framed, on a gold mount.
Each horse is built from a handful of strokes, and the whole line is caught mid-stride. It is a subject that has been painted for centuries and still reads as pure motion.
Long and low, it goes above a desk, a console or a run of cabinets. It is our usual suggestion for a study, and it hangs well in an office or a boy's room.
Gold-toned silk mount in a slim frame. Glazed.
