This is a painting of a tapestry with floral patterns surrounding a central horseback figure. The tapestry features large pink and peach roses, along with vine-like designs, on a background of earthy tones. In the center, there is a depiction of a figure on horseback leading another horse. The scenery suggests a pastoral or countryside setting, enhanced by the floral motif framing the piece. The style emphasizes a blend of natural beauty and human activity within a traditional textile design.
