The "painter emperor" Huizong (1101-1125) painted himself as a horseback rider. In addition to his original compositions, he copied part of a hand-scroll by the 8th century painter Zhang Xuan, entitled Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing, depicting a happy group of equestrian ladies.
藝術家皇帝宋徽宗除了畫過自己騎馬的自畫像之外，也曾臨摹西元八世紀畫家張萱的《虢國夫人遊春圖》中，一群仕女騎馬出遊的歡樂景象。
