This painting shows a donkey standing in a stable, facing left. A spaniel lies on the ground in front of it. The stable has a doorway with a netted window, and a shelf with two pots on the wall. The donkey is the main focus, with the spaniel adding a sense of companionship. The stable's interior is dimly lit, with the donkey and spaniel lit from the left, suggesting a warm light source.
