The image shows two men and a horse. One man is on horseback, while the other is standing beside the horse. The man on horseback is visible from head to toe, seated upright. He wears a tricorn hat decorated with a black and white feather trim, a blue coat with gold buttons, tan breeches, and black riding boots. He holds the reins of the horse in one hand and a sword in the other. The horse is light brown with a white mane and tail. The second man, standing beside the horse, has white hair partially covered by a golden and black-trimmed helmet. He wears a red coat with gold embroidery, tan stockings, and gold shoes. The background includes greenery, trees, a clear sky, and a white tent in the far background.
