About this work

This painting shows a woman riding a white horse in a forest. She wears a blue dress with pink trim and a tall hat with feathers. Behind her, a man on a brown horse walks beside a tree. The background has green bushes and distant hills. The woman’s outfit looks fancy, with lots of buttons and gold details. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to show the horses and trees.
