The work depicts an elegantly dressed female figure on horseback, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, standing in a bare, uninhabited environment. The woman is depicted in profile while balancing on one foot on the saddle of the horse she is riding.

The work is characterised by the use of an unusual spatial perspective, which creates a sense of unreality and mystery. The human figure is represented in a stylised and geometric manner, and the shadows cast on the ground accentuate the effect of depth and three-dimensionality. Light is also used in a masterly manner to create a suggestive and dreamlike atmosphere.

The work is taken from the folder 'Auf der Galerie', published by Gotthard De Beauclair (Frankfurt) and printed by the printer Bulla in Rome.

1978 , Italy

Giorgio de Chirico was born to Italian parents in Volos, Greece, on July 10, 1888. In his art, he sought to evoke the hidden meanings behind everyday life, and his enigmatic scenes of empty cities, menacing statues, mysterious shadows and strange combinations of everyday objects inspired the artists of the Surrealist movement in the 1910s. His important "metaphysical" works from these years include "The Enigma of an Autumn Afternoon," "The Soothsayer's Recompense" and "The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street." After a long career, de Chirico died in Rome, Italy, on November 19, 1978. Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico is best known for his enigmatic paintings of the 1910s and '20s, and for his influence on the Surrealist movement.
