A horizontally oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts a man with a light skin tone standing outside a stone cottage. He wears a top hat and holds the reins of two horses, with a child with a light skin tone sitting atop one. A dog stands near his feet, while a pig rests to the right. Grainy, stippled marks create heavy shadows and textures throughout the scene.
