Detailed Description
The painting is a vertical rectangular composition framed by a thick, solid red border. It depicts two male figures, one riding a horse and the other walking, against a simple landscape background. The ground is a dark green, transitioning to a lighter green in the middle ground, and topped by a light blue sky with a thin, horizontal white cloud line. On the left, a man with light skin and a dark beard sits astride a white horse, facing right in profile. He wears a long, white tunic adorned with small, dark, repeating patterns, a red sash, and a striped turban with a plume. He holds a long, dark spear vertically in his right hand and reins in his left. A quiver filled with arrows and a bow are strapped to his back. The white horse has a detailed bridle, a red saddle blanket, and its legs are depicted in motion, with orange hooves. To the right of the horse, a second man walks forward, also facing right in profile. He has light skin and a dark beard, and wears a long, yellow tunic with small, dark, repeating patterns, a white sash, and a dark turban with a plume. He carries a bow in his left hand. Both figures and the horse are rendered with fine details, standing out against the plain background.
