"Horse and Groom in Winter" is a renowned ink-on-paper painting by Zhao Mengfu, a distinguished Chinese calligrapher, painter, and scholar of the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368). Zhao Mengfu, born in 1254 and deceased in 1322, is celebrated for his contributions to the arts, particularly in the realms of calligraphy and painting, where he played a pivotal role in the revival of traditional Chinese styles during a period of Mongol rule.

This artwork exemplifies Zhao Mengfu's mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects with minimalistic yet expressive brushwork. "Horse and Groom in Winter" portrays a tranquil scene featuring a groom tending to a horse amidst a serene winter landscape. The composition is marked by its simplicity and elegance, reflecting the artist's deep understanding of both the physical form and the spirit of his subjects. The horse, a recurring motif in Zhao's oeuvre, is depicted with meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy and dynamic posture, symbolizing strength and nobility.

The painting is also notable for its use of negative space, a technique Zhao employed to evoke a sense of vastness and tranquility. The sparse background, likely representing a snow-covered ground, enhances the focus on the intimate interaction between the groom and the horse, emphasizing themes of harmony and mutual respect between humans and nature.

Zhao Mengfu's work is often celebrated for its synthesis of various artistic traditions, blending elements of earlier Tang and Song dynasties with innovative approaches that would influence subsequent generations of Chinese artists. "Horse and Groom in Winter" is a testament to his ability to convey profound meaning through seemingly simple compositions, making it a significant piece in the study of Yuan Dynasty art and Zhao Mengfu's enduring legacy.
