Translation help Please

[crouchingdragon]

Please can some one help me translate the far-right vertical-column of characters on the attached PDF file.

The PDF file is a description of Lang Shih-ning famous painting, "One Hundred Horses", which is in Taipei's GuGong.

My Chinese skills are poor. I do not know the top character.

Below then his name, Lang Shih-ning, I believe. Below his name is bai = 100 , next the character ma =horse. Immediately adjacent to ma is a character I don't recognize. Then the remaining two characters in the column I do not know.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks Skylee. Once again you have come to my aid and answered my questions here at the Forum.

you wrote 駿 - Handsome horses Could this also be translated as Stallion ?

I will be sure to read more about this painting on the websites your provided.

Looks like people usually translate 駿 to fine/spirited horses or simply horses.

You could take a look at these threads for reference ->
