Detailed Description
The image depicts a scene with four men and four horses in a muted, sparse landscape. The background features rolling hills in shades of light brown and gray, with sparse, dark green foliage on some slopes. The sky is a pale, uniform gray. In the upper left, a large, gnarled tree with dark, bare branches and some hanging, dark green foliage is visible. Below it, two horses stand. The leftmost horse is light gray or white, facing right, with a red, heart-shaped ornament hanging from its bridle. To its right, a darker gray horse stands facing right, with a blue and red ornament on its bridle. In the center, four men are gathered. The leftmost man, facing right, has a white beard and wears a long, dark olive-green robe over white undergarments, with a red sash and a white hood. He appears to be speaking to the man next to him. This second man, facing slightly left, wears a long, light olive-green robe, a blue hood, and holds a small, dark bird on his gloved left hand. A red, lantern-like object hangs from his waist. To the right of these two, a third man, facing left, wears a blue robe with a dark sash and a blue hat with a dark brim. The fourth man, on the far right of the group, wears a similar blue robe and hat, and stands next to a light brown horse. This horse, facing left, also has a red, heart-shaped ornament on its bridle. The ground is a light, sandy color, with small patches of dark green vegetation. In the upper right corner, several red seals with illegible characters are visible, arranged vertically.
