This is a drawing featuring a rearing horse in a dramatic scene. The horse is centered in the composition, with a raised front leg. Surrounding the horse are ambiguous forms that suggest figures reacting to the horse's movement. The drawing is in a monochromatic, earthy tone with subtle highlights accentuating details. The background is sparse, drawing attention to the figures and horse in the foreground. The poses in the drawing convey a narrative quality, suggesting a moment of high action or emotion.
