This is a drawing of riders on horseback at the entrance of a building. The drawing shows two figures on horses, with a small monkey on the shoulder of one rider. The horses are in front of an arched doorway of a stone building. Some pedestrians are interacting with the riders. The architecture includes large windows, rooftops, and chimneys in the background. Light and shadow are depicted with detailed pencil strokes.
