This drawing depicts a weathered wooden horse weathervane. The side profile of the horse is shown in a dynamic stance, appearing to be mid-trot. The surface of the weathervane shows signs of aging with dark browns and lighter patches indicating weathering. The tail is depicted with a wispy, translucent quality. The weathervane is mounted on a simple vertical rod. The background is minimal, emphasizing the weathervane's details. The color palette and realistic style give the impression of a detailed study of a historical artifact.
