The drawing lacks fine details and focuses on shapes and forms. The horse is sketched in a minimalistic style, with simple lines indicating its form and movement. The carriage is outlined with a few additional details like the wheel and harness. The drawing appears to capture a fleeting moment, possibly created swiftly to convey the scene's essence.
