In this painting, a man in a red cap and gray coat is shown leading a brown horse through the snow. The horse is saddled and has a red blanket on its back. The man is holding the reins of the horse and appears to be walking through a snowy landscape.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
