Detailed Description
The image is a vertical painting featuring a man riding a horned animal against a dark, plain background. The central figures are rendered in muted tones of dark brown, gray, and beige, with the background a uniform, mottled dark brown. The man, positioned slightly above the center, faces forward and slightly to the right. He has a round face with a dark beard and mustache, and his hair appears pulled back. He wears dark, flowing robes, with lighter fabric visible around his waist and legs. His left arm is raised, holding a light-colored, gnarled branch that extends upwards and to the left. His right arm is bent, resting on the animal's back. The animal, resembling a goat or ram, is depicted in motion, moving towards the right side of the frame. It has two prominent, curved horns extending backward from its head. Its body is primarily dark brown and gray, with subtle lighter highlights on its back and legs, suggesting muscle definition or fur texture. Its four legs are shown in various stages of movement, with the front legs lifted and the back legs extended. The figures occupy the lower half of the painting, with a large expanse of the dark, unadorned background above them.
