Representations of the gallop.
Fig. 2.—One of the many admirable Chinese representations of the galloping horse. This is very early, namely, 100 a.d.
Fig. 3.—From a Japanese drawing of the seventeenth century; the pose is a modification of the "flying gallop,"
Fig. 4.—The flex-legged prance from a bas-relief in the frieze of the Parthenon, b.c. 300.
Fig. 5.—A modern French drawing. It is the most "effective" pose yet adopted by artists, and is an improvement on the full-stretched flying gallop, though failing to suggest the greatest effort and rapidity.
Fig. 6.—Instantaneous photographs of four phases of a horse "jumping."
