In the image, there are two horses depicted galloping against a scenic background framed by intricate floral patterns. The horses show dynamic motion, one dark and the other with a lighter, speckled pattern. In the background, there is a landscape with a blue stream, brown and tan earth, and softly-rendered hills in the distance. The horses and landscape are enclosed within an elaborate floral border with flowers and leaves in muted and earthy colors like whites, soft yellows, and browns. The painting follows a traditional folk art style, combining animal figures with decorative floral elements.
