A magnificent horse painting from Wang Zhicheng’s famous Ten Steeds album (十骏图册), created during the Qing dynasty court period. Wang Zhicheng (王致诚, 1702-1768) was a Jesuit missionary and court painter who combined Western perspective techniques with traditional Chinese painting methods, creating uniquely detailed and anatomically accurate depictions of imperial horses.

This artwork is from the 清-王致诚 period, showcasing the refined aesthetic sensibilities of classical Chinese court painting traditions. The Ten Steeds album documents the finest horses in the imperial stables during the Qianlong reign.
