NOTE:
Xu Beihong returned to Singapore at the end of 1940 after his trip to India. After a short stay there, he travelled to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Penang and other places in Malaysia to hold fund-raising exhibitions to support the War of Resistance and disaster reliefs in China. The present painting was thus made during this period. The brushwork in the painting is sharp and the horse is galloping in full flight, typical of the galloping horse style of this period. According to the collector, “Sister Qin” was a local Penang resident. Xu Beihong gave this work as a gift and the painting has remained with the local community ever since.
