This is a drawing of a figure riding a horse in a cave-like setting. The drawing features a central figure in traditional attire with a headscarf, seated on a horse in mid-stride. The background depicts a rocky cave environment with abstract forms and outlines creating a mystical atmosphere. To the right, there is another figure in a stationary pose, potentially facing the rider. The lines are simple and fluid, adding to an ethereal quality to the composition.
