About this work

This painting shows a woman riding a blue horse. She wears a red dress with gold patterns and holds a spear in one hand and a round object in the other. Her hair is dark, and she has gold jewelry on her arms and fingers. The horse has a bridle with metal rings, and the background is plain. The woman’s bold colors and simple shapes stand out against the light background. The style looks flat, almost like a cut-out, with bright outlines.
