Detailed Description
The artwork depicts a man riding a horse, positioned slightly left of center and facing right. The man has a dark, full beard and mustache, and wears a turban on his head. He is dressed in light-colored garments, including a long-sleeved tunic and patterned trousers, with multiple necklaces and bracelets visible. He holds a long, slender spear diagonally across his body, with the pointed end extending towards the upper right corner. The horse is light-colored, possibly white or pale grey, and is shown in a rearing or prancing pose with its front legs lifted. It is elaborately adorned with decorative elements. A patterned blanket with a grid-like design covers its back, while another blanket with a diamond pattern drapes over its neck and chest. Tassels and other embellishments hang from its bridle and saddle. The horse's mane and tail are long and flowing. The background features a low horizon line with a simple landscape. Sparse, dark-toned plants and tufts of grass are visible in the foreground and mid-ground. The upper portion of the image is a plain, light-toned sky. The entire scene is framed by a dark border. Text is visible along the top edge and at the bottom center of the image. The text at the top reads: "महाराजाधिराज श्री महाराजा श्री मानसिंहजी". The text at the bottom reads: "महाराजाधिराज श्री महाराजा श्री मानसिंहजी".
