Landscape: a dappled horse and a horseman

A hanging scroll in ink and color on paper shows a white horse with dark dappled markings beside a red-robed rider beneath a bending willow. Rocky outcrops and misty mountains fill the background, and the soft, muted palette gives the scene a quiet, hazy mood.
