Ink drawing of three horses in a grassy landscape with hills and sparse vegetation
Detailed Description
The image is an ink drawing depicting three horses in a landscape, rendered with black lines on a light, uncolored background. In the left half of the foreground, two horses are shown with their heads lowered, appearing to graze in tufts of tall grass. The horse on the far left is partially obscured by the horse in front of it, which faces right. Both have long, flowing manes and tails. To the right, a third horse stands facing right, its head slightly lowered and looking forward. This horse has a neatly styled or braided mane and a long tail. The ground throughout the foreground is covered with various clumps of grass, indicated by short, energetic strokes. In the background, a low, rocky hill or mound stretches across the upper portion of the image, featuring sparse, brush-like vegetation. The area above the hill is left blank, suggesting an open sky.
