The horse carefully makes its way along a narrow cliffside trail, the precipice dropping steeply away beneath its hooves. Both horse and rider show the weight of exhaustion, yet the rider’s gaze remains fixed ahead, alert to unseen dangers. The scene is bathed in an unusual light: the atmosphere feels nocturnal, yet the raking sun illuminates the upper body of the rider and horse, creating a stark, dramatic contrast. There is a touch of surrealism in the composition, inviting the viewer to wonder about the treacherous path forward and to imagine how safety might be found within this rugged and unforgiving landscape.
