The painting depicts a British horseman on a prancing horse. A raised stick in one hand. He wears a European style hat on his head. A sage and two women walk behind him. Behind the bushes he is riding through is a hill, with a wall curving up it's slopes, a fairly common sight near forts or temples in India. Below are more Indian style buildings. Minute detail - from the smiling face of the rider to the beautifully depicted horse with flying mane. <P><P>
Most unusual and interesting is the embossed coat of arms, done in gold above the hill. It is the Royal Coat of Arms under a Crown, as used by the British Government. <P><P>
