This is a painting featuring silhouettes and contrasts. The composition is divided into two sections: the foreground shows silhouetted horse figures with bold lines, while the background depicts interior scenes with ghostly figures in soft, sketch-like textures. A window on the right is defined by a grid of panes, casting a shadow. The use of light and dark suggests a narrative depth and emotional tension. The style is reminiscent of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
