A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts a man on horseback facing our left. He wears an elaborate headdress with long feathers trailing down his back and fringed clothing with geometric patterns. His horse is adorned with a decorated headstall and a fringed blanket. They stand centered in an open field with low hills on the horizon under a pale sky. Light from our right casts long shadows toward the lower left.
