Horses (Brush Painting)

This item is an East Asian brush painting on paper depicting two horses in motion. The painting features a limited palette of black ink applied with varying degrees of dilution, creating shades of gray. The brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, characteristic of traditional ink wash painting techniques. The central horse is rendered with dynamic movement, its mane and tail flowing, suggesting speed and power. A second horse is partially visible behind and to the left of the main subject. Calligraphy is present on the right side of the painting, along with a rectangular red seal or chop mark, which typically signifies the artist's signature or studio. The paper appears to be laid flat and may be a scroll or a loose sheet intended for framing. Visible condition includes creases and potential water damage or staining on the lower portion of the paper. The paper appears somewhat yellowed with age. The style suggests the painting could be from the 20th century or earlier. The craftsmanship is evident in the skilled application of ink and brushwork, capturing the energy of the horses.
