The image shows two individuals riding a dark-colored horse. Both are sitting upright and facing forward. The person at the front has well-defined facial features, including dark eyes and mouth, and has hair adorned with feathers. They are dressed in minimal clothing and are holding a lance. The individual seated behind appears to have straight dark hair and similar minimal clothing. The surroundings feature tall grass with various small flowers, against a softly painted background that transitions from blue sky to muted earth tones. The composition is bordered by a light gray-green frame.
