The image shows an illustration of a man and a horse. The man stands facing forward with his body slightly turned to the left and his head slightly tilted upward. He has a beard, medium-length hair, and is wearing a tunic with a belt, tights, and a flat cap. He holds a rope or rein in his gloved hands that extends to a horse standing to his right. The horse is depicted in profile with a detailed face and flowing mane. In the background, there are sketch-like outlines of other horses and figures. The artwork is composed of straight and curved lines, set against a lightly shaded background, with the artist's signature in the top left corner.
