One example is a painting of an equestrian group made by a royal prince of the Northern Song, Zhao Yan (d. 922), entitled Eight Gentlemen on a Spring Outing. The artist, a horseman himself, wanted to present in a strongly realistic manner the enjoyment of an outing on horseback. Both horses and riders appear equally spirited.
比如北宋皇子趙嚴的《八仕春遊圖》即是描繪騎馬出遊的景象；自己也是騎士的畫家，以寫實之筆栩栩如生地描繪出騎馬出遊的樂趣，畫中人與馬同樣顯得生氣勃勃。
