The image captures an outdoor equestrian display, likely a Fantasia, taking place in an open field within the city of Meknes, Morocco. The ground consists of reddish-brown, dry, churned earth, indicating horse activity. Above, a clear, light blue sky dominates. In the midground, a central horseman, dressed in a light-colored traditional Moroccan djellaba and turban, is mounted on a dark brown horse. The horse wears an ornate saddle and blanket, predominantly red and white, and is in motion with its front legs slightly lifted. The rider holds a long, thin object, consistent with a musket, vertically in their right hand. Numerous other horsemen on similarly dark horses with colorful tack are visible in the background, also in traditional attire of various light colors (including yellow and white). Some background riders also appear to be holding muskets. On the far right, a tall, white banner with dark, vertical script or design is present. Faint structures are discernible on the distant horizon line. The scene conveys an active, traditional ceremonial event.
