Men are catching and taming naked horses.
This mainly brown image full of movement and action shows boys who are naked, i.e. undressed with wild animals. The front man is undressed near a horse, so his legs, buttocks, back and shoulders are standing on the nude portrait. The black horse struggles.
The others sit on the back of a black horse and ride like riders on their steed.
