The painting depicts a man riding a horse, with another horse standing beside him. The horses are brown and white, and the man is wearing a white shirt. The background is a brown landscape with a tree on the left side. The horses are the main focus of the painting, and the man is shown in a relaxed pose, with his arm resting on the back of the horse. The painting is done in oil paint and has a textured, almost three-dimensional quality to it. The artist, Fernando Fader, was known for his use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
