This painting shows a group of people on horseback, with two women in the foreground. The women are dressed in long skirts and jackets, and one of them is holding a whip. In the background, there are several other people on horseback, as well as some rocky terrain. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The scene appears to be set in a mountainous area, with the rocky terrain and cloudy sky suggesting a rugged and possibly windy environment. The people on horseback seem to be enjoying the scenery, with some of them looking out at the view.
