Description:
In this image there are four discernable centaurs and two human figures. In the left background, we can find two centaurs with bow and arrow in hands pointing towards the ground. In the right foreground we see a centaur looking at the figures, part of his body is cut off by the frame. Towards the center/right of the image we find a centaur, with what is presumably a female figure wearing a veil and sitting on his derrier. The centaur is shown looking back at her and pointing toward the ground with his right hand. Beside the right side of his body we find the second veiled human figure looking towards where the finger is pointed.
