This painting shows a grassy green plain covered with horses. The horses are a variety of sizes and colors, including black, brown, white, tan, and white with black spots. They roll on the ground, run across the grass, sit, or rear back on their hind legs. Below the center of the painting, there is a rider on a black horse who faces us. The rider has pale skin and a thick black mustache, and wears a black shirt, yellow pants, tall black boots, and a gray cowboy hat. Bushes with yellow flowers dot the grass, and there are pointed white mountains in the distance. The sky is light green-blue with white clouds and a bright sun near the top left corner.

The painting depicts a landscape with a river, curving hills, and tall trees. A sailing ship with furled sails moves along the river in the center, surrounded by yellow foliage on either bank. In the background, sparse trees line the horizon under a blue sky with wispy white clouds. On the right, we see a yellow house on the edge of the water, smoke coming from the chimney. The color palette is muted, consisting of soft greens and blues with pops of yellow and white.
