Painting depicting frightened horse in the race. In the center, Negrinho do Pastoreio rides a horse that has its front legs raised, in an unruly attitude. Behind, another rider continues to run. On the left side, a male figure, with his back turned, wearing a poncho, points to the two knights while another man with his hand on his head watches. At his feet, a straw basket is overturned, while a hen runs. On the right, people seem disturbed by the event. A man kneeling with his hands on his head, another man lying down without his hat and, between them, another standing in a tense position. In the background, a small group of men watch.
