Artist, Dutch, 1857 - 1923

The image shows horse-mounted figures in motion across an open landscape. The horizon line is low in the image, almost level with the mounted figures, and the sky above them is vast. The artwork features rough brushstrokes that convey movement and texture, with a focus on linear patterns and shading. The color palette is predominantly sepia-toned, with dark browns and faded off-whites. The ground is depicted with detailed strokes suggesting grass or low vegetation, which continues into the area just beyond the horses and riders.
