Detailed Description
The painting depicts two figures on a plain green background, framed by a red border. On the left, a light-skinned man stands facing right, holding the reins of a white horse. The man wears a striped pink and purple long-sleeved top, yellow and black striped shorts, and orange shoes. He has a dark mustache and a red and black turban with a black plume. His right hand is raised to his head. The white horse is adorned with a decorative saddle blanket featuring yellow floral patterns on a green background, bordered by red and orange designs. Its bridle is simple, and its tail is long and white. On the right, a blue-skinned figure is seated on a low, ornate throne. This figure wears a red and gold garment, a long white beaded necklace, and a tall, dark, plumed headpiece. It holds a silver sword over its right shoulder and a round, dark blue shield with gold bosses in its left hand. The throne is dark gray with intricate patterns and stands on four short legs. The background is a uniform light green, with a thin blue and white line visible at the top, just below the red border. The overall composition places the two main subjects in the lower half of the frame, with ample green space above them.
