The image depicts the entire body of a horse, two small children, and a rider. The two children are standing side by side facing the horse and rider, wearing capes and hats. The rider is on the horse, mainly shown from the back with their head slightly turned. The rider has long flowing hair and wears a long, patterned coat. The horse is standing with its head turned to the side, decorated with a cloth or trappings. The background shows simplistic lines that could suggest a fence or a building structure.
