This is a realistic traveling image. Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuande, was good at shooting since he was young. During his reign, he was also very enthusiastic about traveling and hunting activities. He was an emperor with both civil and military skills. In the picture, Zhu Zhanji, dressed in red and yellow hunting clothes, dismounted and picked up the shot prey. A deer darted by in a panic not far away, which drew him to look back. The black horse beside him was eating grass leisurely. The picture does not describe the environment in much ink, but it well shows the openness of the field, and the posture and composition of the characters are full of dynamic. The work adopts the meticulous painting method of drawing lines and colors, boldly using the contrast between red and black in color setting, highlighting the object to be painted.
