The present brush pot exhibits fine workmanship in its use of the russet skin, the attention and depth of the carving, and with the subjects portrayed in exceptionally lively poses.
While depictions of scholars or immortals in landscapes are more commonly found on Qing-dynasty jade brush pots, hunting scenes are somewhat more unusual. The depiction of horses appears as topical imagery in the arts during the early Qing dynasty among the Manchu rulers, who were themselves descendants of nomadic herdsmen. It is known that Emperor Qianlong, while still a Prince, prided himself on being a keen horseman and was portrayed as such in Court paintings.
