The painting depicts two: He is a young, very handsome, large man, similar to a Sarmatian nomad warrior (Turkic or Iranian type), and a fantastic creature — a Moon dog. A female dog, the size of a small wolf or jackal, it is smaller than a man. They are facing each other and looking at each other. The dog is sitting and looking at the man, the man squatted in front of the dog, standing on one knee. He holds out his hand to the dog and looks at it in surprise. The Moon Dog looks like a wolf with light silvery fur, its muzzle is more elongated, and in shape resembles the muzzle of a greyhound dog. The legs are long, the coat is fluffy and silvery in color. The ears are sharp, with a brush like a lynx, standing up. The eyes are blue. It looks light, not thick. The man is very young and handsome, he has dark skin, shoulder-length black hair, bright green eyes, and beautiful facial features. The beard is missing. He wears a lot of silver ethnic jewelry. There is a steppe around, a horse stands in the distance. Photorealism, an aesthetic frame.
