Nomades au cheval étique is a rare example of Rouault's limited, early experimentation with the monotype technique. He later turned more to etching and lithography. The colors, in their shades and flat tints of blue and red, form a picturesque scene that evokes a peaceful, harmonious reality for the viewer.
