In the painting, a man sits atop a horse, surrounded by a crowd of people. He wears a white tunic and a red cape, and holds a flag with a cross on it. The crowd is dressed in various colors and styles, with some wearing traditional clothing and others in more modern attire. The scene appears to be set in a courtyard or plaza, with buildings and mountains visible in the background. The sky above is cloudy and gray, with a hint of orange and yellow on the horizon. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure on horseback. For more on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Juan Lepiani.
