The image shows a man lying on the ground with his back on a cushion, holding an open book in his left hand. He is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, a waistcoat, and patterned trousers with a straw hat nearby. He appears to be reading to a horse leaning down towards him. Beside him are a pile of books and an oil lamp. A tree with expansive branches and leaves forms a canopy above him. In the background, a landscape with a windmill is visible.
