The image shows three horses in a pasture, with two standing and one lying down under a tree. The horizon is visible in the background, with trees and the sky filling the upper part of the composition. The horses are detailed with fine, dense lines to depict texture and shadow, emphasizing their bodies' volume and musculature. The color scheme is monochromatic, using shades of brown and black typical of an etching. Trees overhead and sketchy outlines contribute to the pastoral atmosphere of the scene.
