Young woman attempting to mount or dismount a horse that is running away with her. The backside of the horse is facing the viewer, with a side view of the woman with a startled expression on her face. She is wearing clothing which would not be seen on women of the period (knee-length pants and a sleeveless top) perhaps indicating a circus performer.
