Detailed Description
This monochrome drawing, rendered in red-brown lines on a light-colored paper, depicts a scene set in a natural landscape. The composition is framed by a thin border. In the far background on the left, a dense crowd of figures, some holding spears or flags, appears on a rolling hill, with a small structure visible at the hill's peak. To their right, several trees with rounded canopies and distinct trunks are scattered across the midground, interspersed with more hills. On the far right background, a large, dark, cave-like opening or rock formation is visible. In the foreground, from left to right, a man on horseback is positioned on the left, facing towards the right. He wears a turban and robes. The horse is depicted with a bridle and saddle. Below the horse, a small, four-legged animal, possibly a dog, is visible. To the right of the horseman, two figures are seated on the ground under a tree. The figure on the left wears a turban and has hands open, palms facing upwards. Opposite him, the figure on the right, with a beard, is seated cross-legged in simple robes, with a small bowl placed on the ground in front of him. Further to the right, near the large rock formation, two smaller figures are seated on the ground, facing towards the central seated pair. They also wear simple attire. The ground throughout the scene is uneven, with subtle indications of rocks and mounds.
