Fashionable woman walking down a path, in a very military-styled crimson riding habit with gold braid, fringed epaulettes and unusual lapels, the jacket and petticoat worn with a green waistcoat and masculine cravat. She wears brown gloves and an elaborate black hat, and is holding a riding crop by the whip end. In the background, just visible through a gate, are huntsmen on horseback and hounds running across a field.
