The painting shows a man on a horse, dressed in old-fashioned clothing. He's wearing a big hat and holding a sword. The horse is rearing up on its back legs. This picture is interesting because it shows a lot of detail, like the horse's muscles and the man's clothes. To learn more about how this level of detail was achieved, look into the technique: engraving.
