Three Polo Players

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting titled "Three Polo Players" by an unknown artist. The painting shows three men on horseback; the men are wearing polo mallets in their hands. The man on the left rides a blue horse, the man in the middle rides a brown horse, and the man on the right rides a white horse. The three men and their horses are shown in profile facing right. The background of the central rectangular panel featuring the polo players is yellow. The rectangular panel is bordered by a red line and then a beige background with a floral pattern. The floral pattern includes green leaves, grey flowers with blue centers, and multicolored flowers with orange, blue, and red petals. The outer edge of the painting has a thin orange border. The painting's edges are rough and uneven, suggesting it may be an older piece.
