The image shows a person sitting on a rearing horse from a rear, slightly angled perspective. The rider is positioned with their body facing away from the viewer, seated atop the horse with legs positioned along the sides. The person's head is turned slightly away, wearing a helmet with a small brim. The background depicts a circular scene with detailed lines suggesting terrain, a cave or enclosed area, and plant-like formations at the lower right.
