Artist"He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough, Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough. And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between; I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen."
A cinematic painting depicts a group of horsemen riding brown horses through a rugged, rocky mountain pass with a winding river valley visible in the distance under a dramatic sky. The lead rider, a weathered man with a beard and hat, rides in the foreground, his horse in mid-stride. Behind him, several other riders follow, stirring up dust and sparks from their horses' hooves striking the flint stones. The landscape includes steep, rocky mountains, some with snow-capped peaks, and scattered sparse vegetation. The text from a poem, "He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough, Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough, And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between, I have seen full many horsemen since I first commecced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen" is overlaid on the upper left side of the image. The style is highly detailed and realistic, with a focus on action and the harsh beauty of the high country.
