A Running horse
A dark ink horse leaps across a pale, warm-toned sheet, its forelegs raised and hind legs stretched behind. Wash shading models the body, while the mane and tail dissolve into loose, dry brushstrokes that suggest motion.

Español: Caballo corriendo
Un caballo de tinta oscura salta sobre una hoja de papel pálido y cálido, con las patas delanteras levantadas y las traseras estiradas hacia atrás. Aguadas de tinta modelan el cuerpo, mientras la crin y la cola se disuelven en trazos sueltos que sugieren movimiento.
Português: Cavalo em disparada
Um cavalo de tinta escura salta sobre uma folha de papel pálido e de tom quente, com as patas dianteiras erguidas e as traseiras esticadas para trás. Aguadas de tinta modelam o corpo, enquanto a crina e a cauda se dissolvem em pinceladas soltas que sugerem movimento.
