About this work

This painting features a serene scene with a man standing beside a horse. The man, dressed in traditional attire, holds a bow and arrow, while the horse is adorned with a saddle and harness. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy tone. A quiet detail in the painting is the subtle expression on the man's face, which conveys a sense of focus and concentration. The horse, too, seems calm and composed, as if waiting for the man's next move. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to look up the artist Yelü Bei.
