A beautiful and finely executed early to mid‑20th century Japanese ink and color on silk painting depicting an elegant Japanese woman in a finely detailed kimono riding a horse while being led by an attendant.

Presented under glass with a gold-lined mat and an attractive giltwood faux bamboo frame, this work has exceptional decorative presence and collector appeal. The refined muted silk ground is beautifully contrasted by vibrant crimson red, teal, lavender, black, and soft ivory tones, creating a luminous quality that becomes especially elegant in natural light.
