The image shows a woman riding a horse, calmly sitting upright in the saddle. She has delicate features, a focused expression, and neatly tied-back hair hidden under a riding hat. She wears a dark riding outfit with a high-collar jacket and gloves. She holds the reins, guiding the horse. A hound runs beside them in a rural landscape with barren trees and a cloudy sky.
