This painting features a dark brown horse standing in profile, facing left. The horse's head is turned slightly towards the viewer, and its ears are perked up. The background is a light beige color with some faint lines and marks. The horse's body is rendered in dark brown tones, with some lighter shades on its legs and belly. The artist has used bold brushstrokes to capture the texture of the horse's fur. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
