Equestrian Landscape Painting with Riders and Distant Village

This item is an oil painting depicting a landscape scene with three figures on horseback, presumably male, traversing a light dirt path. The figures are dressed in traditional, perhaps Iberian or South American, attire including hats, trousers, and shirts, with one rider wearing a distinct orange top and another in blue. They appear to be carrying staffs or long implements. The horses are predominantly white or light-colored. In the background, rolling green hills rise, with a small, terracotta-roofed village nestled on a distant rise, suggesting a Mediterranean or similar architectural style. The sky is a light blue with prominent white clouds, indicating a daytime scene. The painting exhibits a somewhat impressionistic or post-impressionistic style, with visible brushstrokes, especially in the rendering of the clouds and foliage, suggesting a medium of oil on canvas or board. The colors are predominantly earthy greens and browns for the landscape, with blues, whites, and oranges for the figures and sky, creating a vibrant effect. The painting is housed within a sturdy wooden frame, likely gilt and stained. The frame features a dark brown outer section with an inner golden-gilt border that is ornately carved or molded, showing signs of wear, particularly chipping and loss of gilt in various areas, revealing the underlying wood. The overall condition of the painting itself appears fair, with no immediately obvious tears or significant paint loss visible from the photograph, but the frame clearly shows signs of age and distress, contributing to a rustic or antique aesthetic. The visible brushwork suggests a skilled, though perhaps not master, hand.
