The drawing is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. In the foreground, the sculpture is depicted in a classical style, with a sense of movement and energy. The person sitting on the pedestal is shown in a relaxed pose, with their legs crossed and their arms resting on their lap. The horse in the background is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its legs extended and its mane flowing in the wind. The drawing is a study for a larger work, "Casts from Antique Sculpture: The Parthenon," and it showcases the artist's skill and attention to detail.
