Here is the quietly lying form of a plow horse who has finished carrying out its duty in life. The details of the coat have been painstakingly painted, so vivid that the horse’s body still seems warm to the touch. The pioneering settlers treated their horse as a member of the family. To Nissho, the family horse was perhaps the one he felt closest to, the one who best understand his feelings. From this painting, we can sense how sad Nissho must have felt, seeing his beloved horse breathe its last breath.
