Chasing an Enemy through the Snow, 1897

Comments - Dramatic scene of a warrior chasing his enemy through the snow on horseback. Arrows whiz through the air as the first rider's dappled horse leaps past a tree, the samurai leaning forward against the horse's neck, its mane and tail flying, kicking up clumps of snow. The warrior following him grimaces with rage as he grips his sword overhead with both hands, his mount racing around the tree trunk. He wears a fine suit of armor and a battle helmet topped with a demon's head and antlers. In the distance at right, an archer gallops behind, fitting an arrow to his bow. A fantastic image full of energy and action, with wonderful detail, including burnishing on the armor.
