The image shows a full-body profile of a person riding a horse. The individual is seated on the horse, facing away from the viewer, with the horse rearing up slightly. The person's facial features are not visible due to the position, but their hair is styled in waves, and they are wearing a turban with a plume. The clothing consists of a loose-fitting garment, possibly a robe or cloak, which is gathered around the waist with a belt. The horse is adorned with a saddle and harness. The rider carries a sword in a scabbard on their back, and a lance with a flag attached to it. The flag bears a crescent moon and star emblem. The background shows some grass and a few plants on the ground, with no other objects or structures visible.
