The image shows a person riding a horse. The person holds a spear and looks to the left. They wear a turban with a feather, a fur-trimmed cloak, patterned garments, and a belt with attached items. The horse is in mid-step, with a bridle and a feather in its mane. The background features multiple figures on horseback and foot, a caravan of wagons, and a large tent-like structure under a cloudy sky.
