The painting depicts a man riding a horse through a snowy landscape. The man is dressed in dark clothing and holds a lance in his right hand. The horse is dark brown and appears to be galloping through the snow. The background of the painting is a blurred, wintry scene with trees and hills in the distance. The overall mood of the painting is one of movement and energy, with the horse and rider appearing to be in motion. The painting is an example of Adolf Schreyer's work, who was known for his depictions of horses and riders.
