Detailed Description
The artwork depicts two horses rendered in ink on a light brown ground. The horses stand side-by-side, facing forward, with their bodies slightly angled. The horse on the left is a lighter, pale tan color, positioned slightly behind and to the left of the other horse. Its head is turned slightly towards the viewer, and its mane is dark and flows down its neck. The horse on the right is a darker, grayish-blue hue, positioned in the foreground.

Both horses have large, dark eyes with visible white sclera. The background is a plain, unadorned light brown. In the upper left corner, there are two vertical lines of black text. In the upper right corner, there are several red square and circular seals of varying sizes, along with a few more lines of black text.
