The horse's head is slightly lowered, and the mane has a wavy pattern. The drawing has a smooth gradient highlighting the horse's musculature. There is no saddle or harness visible. The background is plain. The artist's signature "Gordon Sanborn" is in the bottom right corner, with a scale in inches on the lower left.
