The body of this horse is mainly defined with various tonalities of ink wash. Only a few details, such as the eye, mane, bridle, and tail, are depicted with ink lines. An obvious Western influence in this unsigned work can be detected in the subtle silhouette and the obscure contrasts of dark and light.
