This is a drawing of an outdoor scene featuring a horse, a dog, and two figures. In the illustration, there is a large horse on the right side, with its head slightly turned to the left. The horse's mane is detailed with fine lines. In front of the horse, a small dog is sniffing the ground. To the left, two figures are behind the horse. The figure closest holds the reins, while the second figure carries a staff-like object. The background consists of minimal lines indicating a horizon or distant landscape. The overall use of line work includes crosshatching and contour lines to create depth and texture.
