This painting shows a young woman riding a white horse. She is dressed in a dark jacket and hat, with a red scarf around her neck. The horse is looking straight ahead, while the woman gazes to her right. The background is a landscape with trees and a blue sky. The woman's outfit and the horse's tack suggest a formal or ceremonial occasion. The painting's style and composition are typical of 19th-century equestrian art.
