A galloping horse springs with its forepaws up and raises its tail. Its lusty pectoral muscle and buttocks are burly and powerful. The man who is pulling the horse stretches out his right leg and tightens the rein with two hands, which helps people to realize that the steed contains a tameless power. This drawing is made with much embellishment and exaggeration of reality, which makes the horse in the drawing to seem full of flowing fervor and expression. It reflects the appreciative interest during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the excellent skill of Leshan artisans. |
