The painting depicts a man riding a red horse, holding a spear and a bow and arrow. He is wearing a crown and a flowing robe, with large wings sprouting from his back. The horse is trampling a figure on the ground, who appears to be a demon or monster. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, with a halo surrounding the man's head. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement, with the man and horse appearing to leap out of the frame. This painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
