Ma Jin studied painting with Jin Cheng in Peking and specialized in the fine brush style of horse painting introduced by Lan Shining (Guiseppe Castiglione, 1688–1766). He was a man of many talents, including flower and bird painting, and excelled in the making of kites.
In his inscription he explains that this work was a joint effort, others adding the mantis, the mosquito and the grapes to the painting.
