About the Artist:
Han Kan, who lived in the 8th Century, was the greatest painter of horses in Chinese history. His Two Horses and A Groom shows a Tartar groom herding two horses, one black and one white. Famous for his reply to Emperor Ming Huang that "All the horses in Your Majesty's stable are my masters," Han was the hero of other stories which glorified his paintings. It was said that one day a veterinarian was asked to see what he could do with a lame horse. He found a beautiful colt that was different from any horse he had ever seen before, and jokingly remark­ed to the owner that it could only "come straight from Han Kan's painting." The next day he saw Han and told him of the incident, describing the steed at great length. Han was equally surprised because the description fitted every detail of a painting he had done at home. He rushed back to examine the scroll again, and to his own consternation found a black dot of ink which he accidentally left on the leg corresponding to that of the sick horse.
