The painting depicts a scene of a man in a red coat riding a white horse, with another man in a brown coat holding the reins of a dark horse. The horses are standing on a dirt path, with a grassy hill and trees in the background. The sky is cloudy and gray. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic image. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and green dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
