Woodblock print of a colonnaded Chinese courtyard in Western perspective, with a figure reaching toward a horse.

Print in Western Style with Western Text

A one-point perspective view across a tiled courtyard, its colonnade and tiled roofs receding toward a distant garden gate. In the foreground a robed figure leans over a railing and thrusts a long pole toward a horse, while seated onlookers and a small dog watch from the sides.

Look closer: A small figure peers from a window in the upper right, half hidden behind the pine branches.
