About this work

This painting shows two men riding horses in a snowy field. One man is wearing a green coat and a black hat, while the other is wearing a yellow coat and a black hat. There are also two dogs running in the field, one of which is a greyhound. The men are riding towards the left side of the painting, and the dogs are running in the same direction. The background of the painting is a gray sky with some trees visible in the distance. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and the horses. It appears to be a scene from a hunt, with the men and dogs working together to catch their prey. Check out more paintings of hunting scenes at the National Museum in Warsaw.
