A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a horse market. In the foreground, dense cross-hatching defines two dark horses on the left seen from behind and another on the right bowing toward a crouching figure. Pale, sketchy lines suggest additional horses and bare branches in the background. Handwritten text and a signature are visible in the lower margin.
