A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a crowded group of figures with light skin tones on horseback. In the center, a rider in a red tunic on a white horse faces right, beside another holding a blue banner. Behind them, a large stone cross rises against a pale blue sky and light distant hills. Coarse, thick brushstrokes create a textured surface across the muted foreground and surrounding landscape.
