The image displays a horse walking in a field with a person holding onto the reins. The horizon is not clear, and the sky covers more than half of the composition, transitioning from a deep blue at the top to a lighter shade at the bottom. A small crescent moon is visible in the sky. The artwork features detailed brushstrokes or ink lines to depict the forms of the horse and figure, with variations in shading and texture. The color scheme includes shades of blue, beige, and black. The scene also includes rough terrain and a visible tree stump.
