The painting depicts a woman riding a horse, with the horse facing right and the woman looking forward. The woman is dressed in a long, dark blue coat and a top hat, and she holds the reins of the horse in her left hand. A dog sits beside the horse, looking up at the woman. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the woman's clothing and the horse's coat. The overall effect is one of drama and movement, as if the woman and horse are about to gallop off into the distance. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures of the woman and horse.
