The image shows a sketch on gray paper with a rough, uneven edge. The sketch is in black and features several figures and horses. The figures are drawn with minimal detail and appear to be in motion. There are five sketches of horses and riders, and one of a man and woman. The horses appear to be rearing up on their hind legs or running. The riders are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with one holding a sword. The man and woman sketch shows the man holding the woman. The background of the sketch is plain gray paper with some darker smudge marks. The overall style of the sketch is loose and expressive. The title of the sketch is "From Sketchbook" by Thomas Sully.
