This is a drawing of a scene with a horse and a person suspended in mid-air. The drawing depicts a dynamic tableau, with a figure falling or being projected into the air near a structure wall. Two horses are below, one rearing up. Several figures are on the ground, some tending to the horses and others engaged in various activities. A dog is at the bottom right. The background features architecture like an arch and a textured wall, suggesting an urban setting. The drawing uses line work and shading to convey texture and depth.
