Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts a light brown background. On the far left, a small, dark gray dog with a slender body and a curled tail runs to the left. Its legs are in motion. To the right of the dog, a group of five men on horseback moves from left to right across the frame. The first rider, on a dark horse, wears a long red robe and a dark hat. His horse has an ornate, patterned saddle blanket in shades of blue and green. Behind him, a man in a light-colored robe rides a lighter horse. He holds a dark, circular object on a pole. Next, a man in a blue robe rides a dark horse. He appears to be holding reins. Behind him, another man in a light-colored robe rides a light horse. This horse has a saddle blanket with a black and white patterned border. The last rider, partially obscured, also wears a light-colored robe and rides a light horse with a red saddle blanket. All horses are depicted with their legs in various stages of motion. The background is plain and unadorned. The figures are arranged in a diagonal line, with the dog furthest left and the horses extending to the right.
