This painting shows a man on a horse, looking back. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist made this image using a printmaking method. The man is an "infidel", which means he doesn't follow the local religion. This was a big deal back then. It's interesting because the artist was trying to show a strong emotion.
