Description
Two dark, near-silhouetted horses trot side by side across a green field, their legs and manes rendered in loose, energetic linework. The composition is banded horizontally into a green foreground with a red patch, a pale textured strip, and a stand of bare, thin trees against a rust-orange sky at the top. A hand-inscribed title and date in pencil appear in the lower right margin alongside the artist's signature.
