This painting shows a groom in a top hat standing between two horses. The horses are facing left, and the groom is looking at them. The groom is wearing a dark jacket and holding the reins of the horses. The horses are light-colored with darker legs and manes. The background is a wooded area with trees and bushes. The overall atmosphere of the painting is calm and serene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume.
