Training the Horse is a 1250 unspecified by Zhao Mengfu, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at National Palace Museum.
This painting depicts a man in traditional attire leading a horse. The man is dressed in a long robe and a hat, and he holds the horse's reins in his right hand. The horse is shown in profile, facing left, with its head lowered and its ears perked up. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the man and the horse.

The man's gentle expression and the horse's relaxed posture convey a sense of harmony between the two subjects. To learn more about the artist's style and technique, look up the artist Zhao Mengfu.
