Depicting many animals of the same species was one of the popular painting subjects among feudal lord families. This painting focuses solely on horses. The grand landscape in Japanese-style painting, which is the painter Seiga’s specialty, produces sophisticated profundity.
The horses in the foreground are silently standing and eating grasses. While the horses in the distance are actively running, swimming, and playing. This remarkable contrast of stillness and motion enhances the perspective.
