An outdoor scene in Pendem, Indonesia, depicts a cultural performance on a large, unpaved, reddish-brown dirt ground with scattered debris and sparse patches of green vegetation. The sky is overcast. In the immediate foreground, to the left, a person, likely male, is crouched low, facing right, wearing a red and white striped shirt and dark trousers with red fabric accents at the ankles. This individual is manipulating a large, ornate, black and red horse-shaped prop, characteristic of a Jaranan or Kuda Lumping performance, which features a long, dark, flowing mane or tail. In the midground, to the left, another male figure wearing a red and white striped shirt and dark trousers is standing with his arms raised, holding a long, dark whip with an orange and black handle. He appears to be in the act of cracking the whip. A second individual is partially visible beneath him. Further right in the midground, a male figure in a red and white striped shirt and dark trousers stands facing left, holding a similar ornate black and red horse-shaped prop. Behind him, several other participants in identical striped shirts and dark attire are present, some barefoot, moving across the dirt ground. One participant in a black shirt and dark pants is visible further back, appearing to be splattered with dirt or water. The background features a dense line of tall, deciduous trees. Below the trees, a crowd of spectators is gathered, some standing, others seated under temporary structures. These structures include a large, open-sided tent with a green scalloped canopy on the right, and smaller blue and green umbrellas positioned over stalls or viewing areas. Banners and flags are also visible in the distance.
