The image shows a person on horseback next to a round stone water basin, with architectural elements of a building visible on the left. Low-lying clouds and horizontal lines in the sky suggest the horizon. The artwork features intricate brushwork with fine lines and cross-hatching, creating texture in the sky, trees, and surfaces. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brown and tan. A sheep is curled up near the basin, and branches with leaves add movement to the composition.
