The image shows two horseback riders in a wooded path, with a view from slightly above and behind. The horizon is blocked by tall trees. The painting features delicate brushstrokes showing detailed clothing, textures of horses and trees. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and gray tones. Sketches of human figures and a lion surround the central image.
