Anonymous, "Washing Horses Painting", Colors on paper album leaf

Inscription: Since the Tang Dynasty, among those who painted saddled horses, General Cao's divine skill was unparalleled. Extending to Zhao Mengfu, his illustrations of the Eight Steeds are widely renowned. An old steed in the stable still aims for a thousand li, not flaunting the world's ornate patterns. Today, upon reviewing this album, I sigh thrice, holding my brush, I wish to compose a poem that soars above the clouds. Written by Zhitian. Seal: Pine and Chrysanthemum Endure (white characters).

Inscription: Since Li Tang, when it comes to painting saddled horses, General Cao's divine skill is uniquely numbered. Extending to Zhao Mengfu (Zǐ'áng), his paintings of the eight steeds are known to all. An old steed in the stable still aims for a thousand miles, not boasting about the world's five-color patterns. Now, reading this album, I sigh three times, holding the brush, wishing to compose a poem reaching the blue clouds. Written by Zhitian.

Seal impression: Pine and Chrysanthemum Still Remain (white character)
