About this work

This painting shows a man riding a horse toward a group of people. The background has buildings with red roofs and a road with trees. Some figures are standing, others are kneeling, and one person on horseback holds a staff. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and muted blues—with bright reds on the roofs and a few orange accents. The year "1870" is written in the corner, and the scene looks like a religious moment. The people seem to be reacting to the rider, who looks important. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create texture with lines.
