Man and Woman on Horseback

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a painting of two people on horseback. The horse is white with black spots on its side and a brown head, mane and upper neck; it faces right. A black and white patterned cloth hangs from its belly. The person in front wears a light-colored robe and a head covering; they hold the reins. The person behind wears a similar robe and a hat; they sit with their legs hanging down on the left side. The background of the painting is mottled brown; a green band runs across the top. The painting is surrounded by a wide border with a black background and gold floral designs.
