A Black Horseman

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person seated on a horse. The person is in a sitting position on the horse, with their torso turned slightly to the side and their head looking forward. The individual has short, curly hair and is wearing a headpiece or bandana-style covering. Their attire consists of a flowing garment with a cloth draped over one shoulder. The horse has a headpiece with feathers. The person holds a small, round object that resembles a musical instrument. In the background, there are two figures on horseback and a standing person wearing a fur-style garment near a fort-like structure. The background shows a cloudy sky and a partially visible landscape.
