Physical description
The profile of a white horse with patterns of circular radiating floral spots strolling, with harness and a red tassel hanging from its neck. The figure standing in front of the horse is portrayed in profile. He is wearing special white hat, has a beard, black boots, green top over a brown skirt over white trousers. He is holding the harness with his left hand and his right hand is folded like a fist. Is he an attendant? The hill they stand on is defined by a slope against an empty background. The execution is very delicate and fine in detail.
