DescriptionA woman wearing a riding habit with a long skirt, shirt, and jacket sits sidesaddle on a white horse, which appears to be an Arabian. She holds a top hat with a veil in her right hand and rests her head on her left hand. A large black and white dog lies at the horse's feet. In the distance, a man on horseback gallops towards her through a tunnel of arching trees. His hand and hat are raised in greeting. A dense forest is in the left background.
