Descrizione dell’immagine
The image depicts the full back view of a person sitting on a horse. The person is wearing a black military-style uniform with red details, including a red collar and red cuffs. They have a high black helmet adorned with a white plume. The person is positioned in a side-saddle manner, leaning slightly to the left, with their left hand holding the reins or bridle near the horse's neck. They are carrying crossed white belts across their back, a sheathed sword attached to the left side of their waist, and additional silver-toned and red accessories strapped across their chest and waist. The background is plain and solid brown.
