About this work

The painting depicts a man on horseback, with the man wearing a red jacket and green vest, and the horse being white. The background is dark, with the man and horse standing out against it. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be looking off into the distance. The horse is also depicted in a serious pose, with its head held high and its legs bent as if it is about to move. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Piotr Michałowski, who was known for his depictions of horses and riders.
