This is a drawing of a large wooden horse being moved through a city. The scene captures a historical or mythological event, where a group of armored individuals is transporting an enormous horse statue on a wheeled platform. The drawing shows a detailed depiction of the surroundings with trees on either side, and a cityscape composed of buildings with varied architectural designs in the background. The sky is lightly filled with clouds. The detailed line work and shading give the drawing a three-dimensional effect, with attention focused on the grandiose scale of the horse in contrast to the human figures around it.
