About this work

This painting depicts a scene with two men and a horse. The man on the right is dressed in a tunic and leggings, holding a sword in his right hand. He stands beside a horse, which is partially visible. On the left, another man kneels, wearing a helmet and holding a shield. The background features a tree with a large hollow, and a bird perches on a branch above the kneeling man. In the background, a landscape with trees and a body of water is visible. The overall atmosphere of the painting suggests a narrative or allegorical scene. For more works by the artist, explore the collection of Stephen Gooden (British, 1892–1955).
