Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts an outdoor scene. In the upper half, a long, elevated wooden stand extends across the width of the image, filled with numerous spectators. These figures, dressed in various colored garments including blues, greens, reds, and browns, are seated or standing. The stand is supported by thin vertical posts. Above the stand, a few trees with green foliage are visible on the left and far right, set against a light, unadorned sky. Below the stand, a wide, light green field occupies the lower half of the painting. Several figures on horseback are depicted in motion across this field. From left to right, at least five horses are visible, each with a rider. The riders wear colorful attire, including blue, red, and white garments, and some carry long poles or spears. The horses are depicted in various shades of brown and white, with some having red or white decorative elements on their saddles or bridles. In the foreground, at the bottom of the image, parts of two buildings with brown tiled roofs are visible on the left and right.
