The image is a painting of a man kneeling down next to a black horse. The man is wearing a green robe and a black hat, and is holding a cane in his right hand. The horse is standing on its hind legs and is bending down to pick up something from the ground. The background is a beige-colored paper with a rough texture. The painting appears to be old and worn, with some areas of the paper appearing to be peeling off. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
