Two horses, one white and one dark, are depicted in a dynamic pose. The horses are shown in profile, facing right, with their bodies captured in mid-stride. The white horse is positioned behind the dark horse, and both horses have their front legs bent. The white horse's front right leg is raised, while the dark horse's front left leg is raised. The horses' manes and tails are flowing, with the white horse's mane and tail extending behind it. The dark horse's mane and tail are also flowing but appear more compact. The background of the painting is a light brown color with darker brown spots and a darker brown border around the edges. A thin black line borders the painting on both sides. The painting is signed in the bottom-left corner with a red seal. The title of the painting is "Two Horses" and the artist is Unkoku Tōetsu.
