This is a drawing of draft horses walking under a stone archway. The scene shows a team of horses moving through a tunnel, illuminated by light creating shadows on the cobblestone path beneath them. The horses are depicted in detail, showing their harnesses and muscular build. The archway is composed of roughly-hewn stones. The composition highlights the movement and texture of the horses and the stone structure above them.
