Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts a scene with four horses and three men in a muted landscape. On the left, a light-colored horse with a bridle stands facing right, carrying a man in a blue tunic and dark cap. Another man in a light garment and dark cap stands beside this horse, holding its bridle. In the central area, a darker horse with a bridle bends its head down towards the ground, appearing to drink or graze. To the right, a bearded man in a light tunic and dark cap stands, looking left. Further right, a man in a light garment and cap is seated on a dark horse with a bridle, which faces left. In the lower right foreground, a cluster of green leafy plants is visible. The background is a plain, light brown, with faint blue and green forms in the upper right suggesting distant foliage. The overall color palette is muted, featuring browns, beiges, and subtle greens and blues. Figures and horses are rendered with outlines and soft shading.
