Painting of a family in front of a yurt. The father is supporting his son on a standing horse whilst the mother makes a gesture of praise. The father is dressed in a low hat with a brown fur trim, a long brown robe with a pale grey sash, and high boots. The son is dressed in a modern brown cap, blue shirt and trousers. The horse has a saddle and stirrups on a felt saddle carpet with a scroll decoration. The mother is dressed in a white head cloth, with her long pigtail visible, a sleeveless green-brown tunic over a long blue dress, and long boots. Behind the family is a yurt with a wooden door with a rolled up door-flap, green reed walls and a grey-blue felt roof with a smoke flap and six crossed tent bands; the walls have two brown tent bands.
