EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Tartar, a lean horse, and a dog" takes us back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in China. Created by an unknown artist, formerly attributed to Hu Huai, this artwork showcases the intricate beauty of ink and color on paper. The image depicts a man from the Tartar tribe dressed in traditional clothing, accompanied by his loyal companion - a skinny yet spirited dog. The man's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era with its vibrant colors and detailed patterns. He wears a fur hat that adds an element of grandeur to his appearance. Standing beside him is a lean horse, symbolizing strength and resilience amidst challenging times. The horse's sleek physique suggests its adaptability to harsh conditions prevalent during those years. As we observe this piece at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution, it offers us glimpses into Chinese history and culture. This educational institution allows visitors to explore various artistic expressions throughout different dynasties. Through this artwork's fine brushstrokes and delicate details, we can appreciate both the artistic skill of its creator as well as gain insights into life during the Ming dynasty in China. It serves as a testament to our rich heritage while reminding us of our connection with animals who have been companions throughout human history.
