Brief Description

Figures on horseback charging across a dark, stormy landscape in a black and white painting

Detailed Description

A black and white painting depicts a group of figures on horseback in motion across a dark, open landscape under a stormy sky. In the foreground and center, two prominent, light-colored, dappled horses are in full motion. The horse on the left rears slightly, its front legs lifted, ridden by a figure in light-colored, flowing robes and a hood, holding a long staff or spear. To its right, another light-colored horse is also in motion, with its front legs bent, ridden by a figure similarly dressed in light robes and a hood, holding a flag or banner that billows behind them. Behind these central figures, several other darker horses and riders are visible. The ground beneath the horses is dark, uneven terrain with hints of sparse vegetation. The sky above is dark and heavily clouded. The overall lighting emphasizes the light-colored horses and riders against the darker background.
