Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a man on horseback against a landscape. The man, positioned centrally and facing right, has a dark mustache and a small dark beard. He wears a light-colored turban, a long white tunic, and red sashes or wraps. A dark earring is visible on his right ear. He holds a long, dark spear vertically in his right hand and a round, black shield with six gold studs in his left. The dark brown horse is also facing right, with its front left leg raised as if in motion. It has a bridle with light blue and orange accents, and a saddle adorned with white, pink, and blue fabrics. Its hooves are dark gray with orange bands above them. The background consists of a flat, light green field in the lower two-thirds and a light blue sky with faint white cloud-like marks in the upper third. A decorative border, light brown with dark brown stylized patterns, runs along the left side and across the top of the painting.
