Hunting on Horses

A hanging scroll in ink and color on silk shows mounted hunters crossing a rocky, sandy plain beneath bare trees and distant hills. Figures in blue, red and green robes ride horses and lead a dog, while white cranes fly across the upper sky.

Look closer: A small white dog runs across the lower left of the plain, near the riders.
