This watercolor shows a big group of people and horses in a dry, open field. Some riders are dressed in bright colors, while others wear darker clothes. In the middle, a man on a white horse stands out, holding something up. The background has rolling hills and a faint blue sky. The painting looks like it was made to record a real event—maybe a parade or a victory. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes to show movement and distance. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
