Detailed Description
The image depicts a dark gray, horse-like animal standing in profile, facing left, on a light beige background. The animal occupies the central and right portions of the composition. It has a relatively large head with pointed ears, a short mane, and a long, thin tail that extends downwards. Its body is solid dark gray, with faint horizontal lines on its back and hindquarters. The legs are slender, and the hooves are depicted as dark, rounded shapes. The animal's eyes are large and round, with a light-colored sclera and a dark pupil. Its mouth is slightly open, showing two small, pointed teeth. To the left of the animal, a tall, vertical plant with numerous small, green leaves extends from the bottom edge upwards, almost reaching the top edge of the paper. Its leaves are arranged in a feather-like pattern. In the upper right and lower right corners, smaller clusters of green, grass-like plants are depicted. The background is a plain, light beige paper, which appears slightly discolored in areas. A thin red double line runs vertically along the left edge of the paper. In the upper left corner, the symbol '२' is visible in dark ink. A small, circular hole is punched near the top center edge of the paper.
