Depicting a scene from the Tianbao period, this image shows the Tang Emperor Xuanzong's favored concubine Yang Yuhuan's sister, Lady of Guo State, and her attendants on a spring outing. The people and horses have little momentum, and it seems they are riding slowly. The details are realistic, and the brushstrokes are impressive. The horses' liveries and saddles and the people's clothes are all typical fashions of the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, depicting the life of leisure enjoyed by upper class women of that time.
