Shao was born in Changzhou County (now part of Suzhou) in the Jiangsu province. His style name was “Seng-mi” and his sobriquets were “Gua-chou” and “Fen-tuo jushi”. Shao was known as one of the Nine Friends of Painting together with Dong Qichang, Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Li Liufang, Yang Wencong, Zhang Xuezeng, Cheng Jiasu, and Bian Wenyu. Ink and color on gilded paper, fan leaf. This painting depicts a horse riding scene in the woods. Signed “Shao Mi”, with a signature seal of the artist.
