DescriptionThe image is dominated by a white horse standing on a grassy knoll in the foreground; the horse faces the left edge of the canvas and has a black, windblown mane and tail. Behind and below the central horse, in the middle ground, is a herd of various colored horses. The background consists of green plains with a river cutting through and, beyond, a hazy mountain range.
