This drawing shows a horse and a worker in a stable. The horse is in a stall with a collar and a partially fitted harness. A worker is crouched near the horse's hoof. The setting is rustic, with wooden plank walls and rough stonework. Another horse is also visible in the background. The shading and attention to detail highlight textures of the horse's coat and the stable surroundings.
