Photograph of portrait of polo player riding a horse, ca.1930. At center, a mounted polo player poses for the camera. The man wears a circular, lightly colored hat which extends to his eyebrows. His pants are also lightly-colored, and his long boots are darkly colored. In his right hand, he holds a long, thin mallet with a loop on the bottom end.
