A watercolor and gouache drawing of a young army officer riding to the left on a prancing horse. Behind them a white cloud reaches to the ground. The soldier is dressed in a short red jacket with brass buttons and epaulettes, a black beret and black trousers with two red stripes on the outside of the leg. He rides with erect confidence, holding the horse's reigns in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. The horses black and brown coat glistens. It has white back fetlocks and a blaze, it's knotted tail flies backwards, it's ears are upright and it's are eyes wild. Saliva falls from the horse's mouth.
