Chen Yandu's early works mainly focus on animals, and his later works mainly focus on figure paintings.

This double horse painting is probably one of his earlier works.

The painting shows a mother horse nursing her baby on a field.

The elder horse looks relaxed, the pony buries itself under mother's belly, only revealing a part of its body.

Although the work depicts the scene of winter, it makes people feel warm.
