The Stable by Charles-Émile Jacque: A black and white drawing of two horses in a stable. The horses are positioned in the center, one slightly behind the other, both facing left. They have long tails and manes. The horse in front is light with a darker patch on its back; the one behind is darker. A wooden cart or wheelbarrow is to their left. The background shows a wooden structure with beams on the ceiling and a lantern hanging. The floor appears to be dirt. The drawing is framed by a thick border, with the artist's signature at the bottom left.
