Two Male Figures with a Horse (after the Parthenon Frieze?) (from Sketchbook)
Black and white sketch on white paper. A horse with a long neck and tail rears up on its hind legs. A male figure wearing a short tunic crouches at the horse's front legs. Another male figure wearing a short tunic sits on the horse, looking back at the crouching figure, with one arm raised to their head. The horse faces right. The sketch appears to be drawn in pencil. The image has a thin white border around it.
