This painting shows a scene inside a stable. There's a white horse, and a man in a hat and coat is standing next to it. Another man is wearing an apron and holding a brush, while a boy is standing nearby. There are also three dogs in the scene. The atmosphere seems casual, with the people and animals all gathered together. The colors are mostly earthy tones, with some brighter whites and browns.
