Story Two Hundred and Ninety-Four · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Painted Horse

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: In the daytime main room of a townsman's house, a sturdy military officer in a belted robe and cap, with a short sword at his side, points at a hanging scroll of horses on the back wall, while the scholarly master of the house at the right raises a hand to his cheek and gazes up in astonishment, with an incense burner on a side table below the scroll, a lattice window at the left and a bookcase at the right.
