The image shows a person riding a horse. The individual is seated upright on the horse, facing slightly to the left, with their right arm resting on the horse's reins. The person has distinct features with a round face and curly hair under a hat with a large feather. They are wearing a textured coat with ornate details and fitted pants. The background shows a slightly barren landscape with clouds in the sky. Two other figures on horseback are in the scene. One is riding to the left, while the other appears at rest or in conversation. The image is framed in an oval shape.
