Detailed Description
A man is seated on a low, light brown structure next to a brown horse, set against a cloudy sky and a distant building. The man, positioned on the left side of the image, faces towards the right and looks slightly upwards. He has dark skin and a dark beard, wearing a white turban with brown stripes, a dark outer cloak over a white garment, and dark trousers. His feet are clad in tall, reddish-brown boots. A red and brown pouch or belt is visible around his waist. In his right hand, he holds a thin, light-colored object, possibly a pipe or stick, with a white cloth draped over his lap. The brown horse is partially visible behind the man on the right, with its head facing right. A red and white saddle is clearly visible on its back. In the far left background, a light brown, blocky building or wall structure rises. The ground beneath the figures is a sandy, light brown. The upper portion of the painting features a blue sky with scattered white and grey clouds, becoming lighter towards the right horizon.
