Description

A man in a white head cloth, light shirt, black sash and loose white trousers stands on dry ground holding a rope attached to a dark saddled horse. The horse is lowering its head to graze. A walking stick leans beside the man, a motorcycle wheel edges the left foreground, and low trees sit on a flat horizon.
