This is a drawing of a horse in a rearing position, captured in thin red lines against beige paper. The horse faces the right, its back legs only visible above the knees and its front legs raised into the air. Various measurements and annotations are visible, suggesting a study or preparatory work focusing on proportion and form. The horse's mouth is open, and its mane and tail have been cut short.
