This is a drawing of a horse standing in a pastoral landscape. The composition includes a large horse grazing in the foreground, with its head lowered. In the background, a smaller horse and a few sheep are present, some grazing. The landscape features slight elevations, sparse vegetation, and a few bushes or small trees. The sky is lightly sketched with a few clouds. The drawing uses fine lines and shading to show the horse's musculature and the landscape texture.
