Six Horses. It’s by Xu Beihong

shows six horses running
towards you. It is a lively
painting in the traditional
Chinese style.
The horses look wonderfully alive. You feel they’re going to come out of the painting and into the room! I think it’s delightful. Perhaps it’s because I really like paintings of animals.
