About this work

The painting depicts a man on horseback, dressed in a red and gold outfit, holding a spear and riding towards a lion. The lion is positioned on the left side of the image, while the man and his horse are on the right. In the background, there is a body of water with trees and hills surrounding it. The man's attire is ornate, with intricate details on his clothing and accessories. The horse is also adorned with decorative elements, adding to the overall sense of opulence in the scene. The lion, on the other hand, appears to be in motion, as if it is about to attack or defend itself. This painting is held at the Israel Museum.
