Printed with both fine and densely layered black lines on cream-white paper, a man and the horse he rides are angled away from us, to our left, in this vertical engraving. The horse’s front hooves are raised off the ground as it pushes off its back legs in mid-stride or leap. The horse’s chin is pulled back by the reins the man holds in his left hand, by his lap. The rider’s profile has a long nose, and his mouth is open over the suggestion of a beard. The rest of his face and head is covered by a fur cap. A long feather flows from the brim, over his right shoulder. That arm is raised as he holds up a whip. The shoulders of his long-sleeved, tight-fitting jacket are slashed, and there are four slashes creating a loose X shape on his mid-back. The leggings or pants on the leg we can see are vertically striped under a thigh-high boot, which folds over at the top. His pointed shoe hooks through the stirrup of the horse’s saddle, and a spur juts out from the heel. A sword hangs by the man’s left side, closer to us. The pair travel on a clear path lined on both sides with grasses, rocks, and trees. Closest to us, in the lower left corner, a smooth-topped, cut tree stump is surrounded by grasses and a few stalks. On the far side of the horse, a narrow grove of darkly shaded trees rises along the right edge of the composition, and the tallest tree extends off the top. In the distance to our left, steep, vertical cliffs and hills are engraved in lightly incised lines, so look more faint. Trees and structures are suggested with a few strokes. The topmost structures come about five-sixths of the way up the composition, and the sky above is blank white. The artist signed the lower center of the engraving with his monogram, an uppercase D tucked between the long legs of a wide uppercase A.
