Polo player
The rider, in boots, pants, shirt, bareheaded, protected hands with gloves, sitting with body bent, his eyes sharply focused on the ball. He pulls the reins tightly to the left so that the horse suddenly pauses in its movement; the right hand holds the handle of the long hammer. The movements of horse and rider are reproduced with know-how,
the moment the moving forewards of the horse and the sharp attention to the rider, certainly recognized as the only one in which the moving game is shown.
