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.
