Detailed Description
A full-length oil painting depicts a man in dark armor on a rearing white horse, positioned centrally and angled slightly to the right. The man, with dark hair, a beard, and a mustache, looks directly out at the viewer. He wears dark, reflective armor with gold detailing, a red sash draped across his chest, and a large, plumed hat with a white feather. His right hand holds a long, slender brown staff angled upwards, and a sword hilt is visible at his left hip. A voluminous bunch of red fabric is tied around his waist. He wears brown boots and sits firmly in an ornate saddle, which is covered in gold and red patterned fabric. The white horse is depicted mid-rear, with its front legs lifted high off the ground and its hind legs firmly planted. Its mane and tail are long and flowing, appearing white. The horse's bridle and harness are adorned with gold accents and tassels, particularly visible on its hindquarters. The background features a landscape. To the left, a sky with dark grey and light blue clouds, with a distant, hazy body of water or land visible below. To the right, a dark, gnarled tree trunk with sparse dark green foliage frames the scene. The ground beneath the horse is uneven, with rolling hills of brown and green earth.
