This is a drawing of a large reclining figure with horse and another leaning figure, set in an outdoor landscape. The drawing features clean, flowing lines that define the shapes of the figures. The reclining figure occupies the right portion of the scene with prominent eyes and facial features. Beside this figure is a nude figure leaning next to a standing horse. The background shows simplistic depictions of hills or clouds. The composition suggests a serene interaction among the figures and the horse, hinting at a mythological or allegorical scene.
