Iskander with a philosopher and a horse

Against a background of red earth with a blue sky and clouds, Iskander sits to the left under a tree on his knees, before him a visitor dressed in white kneeling, his horse stands with its right foreleg raised beside him; behind the horse a flowering bush. The scene lies halfway up in the middle two of four columns of text, which are separated from each other by red frame lines and a narrow space of the sheet; the columns also appear on the back.
