Detailed Description
This vertical, monochrome artwork features a figure on horseback in the upper middle, moving from left to right. The rider, dressed in loose, flowing garments, sits atop a horse depicted in mid-stride, with its front legs lifted. Both the rider and horse are rendered in darker tones against a lighter, hazy background that suggests mist or snow. Small, light specks are scattered across the upper portion of the image, possibly indicating falling snow or stars. In the lower left quadrant, a small, gabled structure, resembling a hut or house, is partially visible, appearing to be covered in snow. Adjacent to it, a dark, dense tree with visible branches and foliage stands. The ground around the structure and tree is indistinct, blending into the atmospheric background. Below the structure, a vertical column of faint, dark characters is present, followed by a small, square seal impression. The entire scene is rendered in shades of gray, creating a sense of depth.
