This painting shows a man on a white horse, both standing on a green field with red flowers. The rider wears a crown, purple robes, and gold jewelry, holding a spear. The horse has a black saddle with red tassels and a black blindfold. The bright colors and bold lines give the scene a lively, almost dreamlike feel. The horse’s blindfold might hint at trust or focus. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
