The image shows a drawing of a person on horseback, displaying the entire body of both the rider and the horse. The rider is seated on the horse, facing slightly to the right, with one hand holding the reins and the other holding a sword in a scabbard. The person has distinct facial features with a pointed mustache and dark hair partially covered by a turban. They are dressed in what appears to be a uniform with a long-sleeved coat and pants, complete with a sash and ornamental design on the chest. Around the neck of the horse is a decorative strap with a geometric pendant. The paper is textured blue-grey, with a grid pattern drawn over it. The background features minimalistic lines suggesting a flat landscape, with no distinct objects or scenery behind the rider and horse.
