This is a drawing of two horses decorated with colorful garments, entangled with one another. The horses are adorned in intricate cloth saddle blankets, one primarily in green and the other in red and white stripes. Both animals appear to be in motion, their bodies intertwined in a dynamic stance. The drapery on the horses is adorned with tassels and decorative patterns. The background is plain. The line work is precise, complementing the detailed use of watercolor to accentuate the vividness of the garments and the flowing manes of the horses.
