A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone and a dark mustache, mounted on a black horse. Facing right and looking toward us, he wears a black uniform with red epaulettes and a plumed, gold helmet. In the background, groups of soldiers gather in a field beneath a blue sky with soft clouds. Thick brushstrokes define the horse's dark coat, the textured grass, and a signature at bottom left.
