This is a painting of two riders on horseback surrounded by floral patterns. The image features two riders wearing red jackets and black hats, each riding a light-colored horse. They are set against a softly colored background filled with large stylized pink flowers and green leaves, bordered by geometric patterns. The composition resembles a folk art style, with bold, flat colors and decorative motifs.
