Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a horse standing upright at a doorway. The horse has its front legs inside a building, creating the illusion that it has entered through the door. The horse has an exaggerated expression, with its mouth open, as it looks into the room. The background shows a cityscape view through a window. The interior features textured walls, and the drawing style includes meticulous line work typical of printed illustrations from the 19th century. Textual elements suggest it was intended for printing, and the caption at the bottom provides context for the image.
