Two noblemen are depicted riding highly decorated prancing horses and escorted by their armed retinue. At the far right of the hemispherical horizon, a city can be seen, while on the left, a family of gazelle ponders the travelers. The bright, turquoise foreground and zigzag riverbank are characteristic of later Bundi and Kotah school paintings.
