Brief Description
A bearded man on a horse, holding a flower, with attendants and two dogs on green ground.
Detailed Description
The image depicts a large procession of figures, centered around a man riding a dark brown horse, moving from left to right across a light green ground. The sky above is a lighter shade of green with a thin blue-grey band at the very top. The central figure, a bearded man with a light green halo, wears a light pink robe and a white turban adorned with a feather and a jewel. He holds a small pink flower in his right hand. The horse wears a patterned saddle blanket in shades of brown and gold. Behind the rider, to his left, a man holds a large black parasol above him, and another man holds a white fly whisk. The procession includes numerous male attendants, densely arranged around the horse and extending to the left and right edges of the frame. These men wear a variety of colorful garments, including robes in orange, yellow, white, red, and pink, with turbans in similar colors or blue. Many have beards and mustaches. Some attendants carry long spears or staffs, while others carry objects such as a small drum or a long red cylindrical item. In the lower center, two slender white dogs with brown markings walk alongside the procession. A dark, concentric circle with a golden center is positioned in the upper left quadrant of the green sky. The figures occupy the majority of the lower two-thirds of the vertical composition.
