The image is a black and white photograph of a statue of a man on a horse. The man is sitting on the back of the horse, which is rearing up and appears to be in mid-stride. He is holding a flag in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. The horse's head is turned to the side and its mane and tail are flowing in the wind. The statue is made of stone and is set against a cloudy sky. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the man and the horse.
