A horse with a yellow saddle blanket and red saddlebags is led by a man wearing blue clothing. A woman in a blue and green kimono walks under a yellow parasol to the right. The group walks on a gray path bordered by green water. In the background are several thin trees with sparse leaves. Behind the trees are hazy mountains and a blue sky. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the top left and right side. The characters on the right are in a red vertical rectangle. The print has a beige border.
