This painting shows a scene with many people and horses. In the foreground, a man in a red robe is standing next to a horse. There are other people around him, some on horses and some on the ground. The background has trees, hills, and a body of water. A man in a blue robe is holding a staff and standing next to the man in red. There are many other details in the painting, but it's hard to tell what's happening. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this painting, look up Domenico Ghirlandaio.
