In the foreground, there are three people sitting on a rocky outcropping. Behind them, to the left, are two people and a horse. The sky above is cloudy. The illustration is surrounded by a border with a textured appearance. The circular illustration is set against a rectangular background with a lighter color and horizontal lines.
