The image displays two horses standing in shallow water. The background shows a sloping terrain with trees or shrubbery on the horizon line. The brushstrokes are broad and textured, suggesting movement in the water. The color palette consists of sepia tones, creating a vintage atmosphere. Trees and grasses add vertical elements to the scene, while the brushstrokes across the sky add an ethereal touch.
