A man in old-fashioned clothes is mounting a horse in this drawing. The rider is wearing a big hat and a long coat. He's having trouble getting on the horse. The artist drew this with pen and brown ink on paper. The drawing shows a lot of movement and action. It looks like the horse is moving and the rider is trying to catch up.
