Original artwork description:

In this striking expressionist painting, we are transported into a scene filled with colors and emotions, where a group of people on horseback is passing by the lake's shore in the evening. The twilight sky is painted in deep shades of red and gold, and the sun, though passive, appears surreal as it seems trapped amidst the trees, creating an impression of transcendence.

The group of people appears weary, an image of exhaustion and post-battle anxiety. They are riding their horses back from the battle, defending their homeland, looking forward with pensive and distant gazes. Under the evening light, the details of their figures become hazy and enigmatic.

In this moment, the sun is depicted as a block of ethereal light confined within the grid of lush greenery.

On the lakeside meadow, a dog lies peacefully on the grass, its gaze serenely following the procession of people and horses. The dog seems like a silent concerto, a neutral third party, untouched by the tension of the human and equine entourage.

All the elements in this painting, from the horseback riders to the surreal sun and the tranquil dog, combine to evoke a sense of hope and sorrow, of the past and the future, in a world distorted by the emotional state of the people within the artwork.
