DescriptionView of a man and three women on horseback in a clearing in what appears to be a desert. There is a craggy rock formation in the distance on the left and a rounded geological formation just behind the clearing. The man is wearing a military uniform with a Stetson hat. There appears to be another man and woman, with a horse, behind him. Another horse is standing on the right, drinking out of a barrel near a collection of wood. There may be a man standing behind that horse. The two women in the front are holding riding crops. The clearing is surrounded by brush.
