Brief Description
Five figures on horseback, some with bows, one with a bird, in a muted, sparse landscape
Detailed Description
A wide, horizontal image shows multiple figures on horseback in a muted, earthy landscape. On the far left, two riders on light-colored horses gallop towards the right. The foremost rider, dressed in a light-colored garment with blue accents, is drawing a bow, held forward. The second rider, slightly behind and above, also appears to be holding a bow. In the middle ground, a single rider on a brown horse gallops right. This rider wears a light blue tunic and holds a dark bird of prey, possibly a falcon, on their outstretched left arm. The bird's wings are spread. Towards the right, two more riders on horses move right. One rider is dressed in a prominent red garment, while the other wears lighter clothing. They are positioned near a dense, dark brown and green area that suggests trees or rocky terrain. Above and to the right of these riders, a faint, lighter shape, possibly an animal, is visible among the darker background elements. The ground is a flat, open expanse of muted brown and ochre. The background features sparse, dark trees and subtle, undulating hills rendered in similar earthy tones. The overall color palette is subdued, with occasional brighter accents from the riders' clothing.
