While depictions of scholars or immortals in landscapes are more commonly found on Qing-dynasty jade brush pots, hunting scenes are much more rare. 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.
