This landscape is dominated by grassy areas with foliage that slopes upward. In the foreground, two figures appear with a dog, one of whom is flying a kite. Just beyond them is the "milk white horse"--a term that appears in the Book of Revelations, 6:2:

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him and had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” - King James Version (KJV)

The phrase connotes being spirituality aware, with purity, good fortune, and prosperity. In this idyllic, carefree scene, the kite, flying in the sky, symbolizes freedom.
