About this work

This painting shows a man riding a horse. The man is holding a long spear and has a quiver of arrows on his back. He's wearing a hat and a long coat, and he looks like he's moving fast. The horse is black and has a long tail. It's running with its front legs stretched out, and its back legs are bent. The man is leaning forward, holding the spear out in front of him. There are some Chinese characters in the top left and right corners of the painting. This painting is like others by Giuseppe Castiglione.
