This is a drawing of a man riding a horse with another horse-drawn carriage in the background. The image shows the man in formal attire riding the horse with precision, while another horse pulls a carriage in the background. The horses are detailed with attention to their muscular structure and the movement of their tails. The background is sketched out and indistinct, highlighting the central action of the piece.
