The image is a painting of a man sitting on a horse-drawn cart. The cart is made of wood and has a basket on top of it. The man is wearing a red robe and a hat, and is holding a book in his hands. He is sitting on the back of the cart, which is pulled by a white horse. The horse is standing on its hind legs, and it is looking down at the man. The background is a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The ground is covered in dirt and there is a small stream running through the scene. The painting is done in a realistic style, with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
