A saddled Arabian horse stands in a courtyard. The horse is light brown with a darker brown mane and tail. It faces right. A saddle blanket is under the saddle. The saddle is decorated. A bridle with a noseband and chin strap is on the horse's head. A post is to the right of the horse. A second horse's head is visible behind the post. A man sits on a wall in the background. There are buildings, a palm tree, and foliage in the background. The artwork is sepia-toned. It is in a frame with a decorative border.
