Daoist Immortal is a 1742 unspecified by Hanabusa Itchō, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two figures riding through a landscape. One sits high on a flying horse, holding a staff, while the other leans forward on a donkey, clutching a bundle. The background is mostly empty sky and rolling hills, with a few sparse trees. The artist used bold black lines to define the figures and animals, leaving most of the space plain and light. The figures look like travelers, but their long robes and serious expressions suggest something more than a regular journey. Next, look up Hanabusa Itchō to see how he blended Japanese and Western styles.
