I want something beautiful to put on my wall.
Sarah’s opinion:
The picture I like best is The Six Horses. It’s by Xu Beihong and was painted in 1925. It 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.

the picture all the time.
