The painting depicts a woman riding a white horse bareback. The woman wears a pink dress with a full skirt that flows behind her. She sits on the horse without a saddle, holding its reins. The horse faces right. In the foreground, there are several objects: a blue and white vase, a large white plate, and a round object resembling a tambourine or drum. The background shows a crowd of people seated and wearing hats. Two tall poles with ribbons or streamers are visible on the left. The artist's initials "M.B.P." are in the bottom right corner. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, pink, blue, and white.
