This is a drawing of two horses engaged in a confrontation. The scene shows two horses reared up facing each other. The drawing captures the energy and tension of the horses as they interact. The horses' manes and tails are animated, adding to the dynamism of the composition. There is a wooden fence, trees, and a barn in the background. An individual is also visible in the background. Dust or debris around the horses' hooves conveys a sense of motion.
