This painting depicts a man standing next to a horse, both facing right. The man is dressed in a hat and a long coat, while the horse is saddled up. The scene is set against a backdrop of a building, with a stone wall and a roof visible in the background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the light source coming from the left side of the composition. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the man and horse appearing lost in thought. For more on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Rodney Graham.
