Detailed Description
A man rides a horse, depicted in profile facing right, against a plain, light beige background. The man, positioned towards the upper left, has a dark, full beard and mustache, and wears a light-colored turban and a long-sleeved tunic. His eyes are open, and he looks slightly upwards. He holds a thin spear in his right hand, pointing upwards and forwards, and appears to be holding reins in his left hand, though the reins are not clearly visible connecting to the horse's mouth. A quiver with arrows is visible behind his left arm. The horse, occupying the majority of the lower and central part of the composition, is light grey with subtle dark speckles, and has a long, flowing black mane and tail. Its head is adorned with a yellow and black bridle, featuring a red tassel near its ear. A decorative saddle cloth, primarily white with red and yellow striped patterns, covers its back. Yellow straps and red tassels further decorate the horse's harness and legs. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose with its front legs lifted and its back legs extended. Its hooves are dark, with red accents.
