Descrizione dell’immagine
The artwork shows a man in full military regalia riding a white horse. The rider is upright, holding a black tricorne hat in his right hand, raised slightly above his head. He has white hair styled back. He wears a blue military coat with gold epaulettes and buttons, a cream waistcoat, and tan breeches, along with tall black boots. The horse is in a dynamic pose, with one front leg lifted, and it is adorned with a colorful, decorative saddle and bridle. The background is a simple, pale blue sky above a green landscape.
