This painting portrays a gentleman mounted on a donkey and a couple with their two children walking along a road. Interestingly, the artist focuses his attention on the gentleman stealing a glance at the woman with a child in her arms. The arrangement of the two horses and the people headed in opposite directions forms a diagonal composition that lends dynamism to the painting.
