The image features a figure guiding two large horses across an inclined landscape with a stylized composition. The artwork is characterized by bold outlines and details suggesting movement and texture, reminiscent of a woodcut technique. The horses and their harnesses are prominently depicted near the foreground, with various buildings and smokestacks in the background creating a bustling village and industrial setting. The composition lacks a distinct horizon, with buildings and chimneys blending into the sky. A monochromatic color palette accentuates forms and shadows with contrasting dark lines on light paper.
