About this work

This painting depicts a woman riding a horse, with the horse's head turned to the left. The woman wears a large hat adorned with feathers and holds a scepter in her right hand. She is dressed in a long, flowing gown with a white collar and a dark bodice. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its front legs raised and its back legs extended. The background of the painting is a light-colored sky with birds flying in the distance. The painting's use of cross-hatching and engraving techniques creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall drama of the scene.
