Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts a group of figures and animals moving together, with a central figure on horseback, set against a light blue sky and green landscape. The central figure, positioned slightly left of center, is a man with a dark beard and an elaborate turban, wearing white and gold garments. A golden halo encircles his head. He rides a dark brown horse, richly adorned with red and gold tassels and a patterned saddle. The horse is depicted with one front leg raised. To the left of the horse, several figures walk. One holds a large white fan on a pole, while another carries a red and gold parasol. They are dressed in white tunics, orange sashes, and turbans. In the lower left, a slender, light brown dog with a decorative blue, orange, and gold patterned coat walks on a leash, held by a figure. On the right side of the painting, a group of figures walks towards the central horseman. Some carry staffs, while others hold falcons on their gloved hands. They wear similar white tunics, orange sashes, and turbans, and many have beards. The ground is a vibrant green with small, dark green bushes, and the upper background is a clear, light blue sky. The entire scene is framed by a light brown border.
