This is a drawing of two figures interacting with a horse. The illustration is rendered in fine black and white with delicate shading and detailing. It depicts one figure seated on the horse while another figure is standing beside, engaged in an interaction with the horse. The horse stands alert and steady, its posture and musculature detailed. The background is minimally rendered, focusing the viewer's attention on the interaction between the figures and the horse.
