Artist, German, 1858 - 1925

The image depicts two standing figures and a horse in black silhouette against a lighter background. The figures appear to be in motion, with one slightly more pronounced in the foreground and the horse's head visible between them. The textures are rough with confident, broad strokes, conveying a sense of dynamic movement and tension. The style is reminiscent of George Grosz.
