The image shows a person sitting on a horse. The person is facing slightly left, with one hand holding the reins and the other hand resting on the horse. The person has distinct facial features, with hair covered by a large hat adorned with a plume, and is wearing heavy clothing and long boots, with a quiver over their shoulder. The horse is mid-step with raised front legs. In the background, there are other figures on horseback dressed similarly. The sky is lightly clouded, and it appears to be an outdoor setting. The image is enclosed in an oval frame within a rectangular border.
