This is a drawing of two horses in an active interaction near a stable. The scene shows two horses on their hind legs, engaging with each other energetically. A figure is present in the background by a stable door, holding a pitchfork. The background includes a rural fence and abstract tree shapes, drawn with a gestural style. The foreground focuses on the horses' muscular forms and movement with expressive lines. Below the main scene are smaller sketches of cows in various poses. The drawing combines strong lines and shading to give depth to the animals' depiction.
