The image shows a full-body depiction of an individual sitting upright on a horse. The person is oriented sideways, facing towards the right side. They have a bushy moustache, and their hair appears to be light-colored and somewhat curly, though it's covered mostly by a dark hat. The individual is clad in a reddish-brown jacket and mustard-colored pants, with black riding boots. They are not holding any objects, and there is no visible jewelry. The background is plain.
