The scene is set in Estaimpuis, Belgium. A chestnut-colored horse, viewed in profile and facing left, is positioned centrally. The horse wears a grey fabric halter with multiple metal buckles, and a dark lead rope is attached to a ring under its chin, extending downwards. A small white marking is visible on the horse's muzzle. The background consists of a red brick building with visible mortar lines, featuring a dark spigot mounted on the wall to the left. Above the brick wall, a weathered terracotta-tiled roof with a dark gutter runs horizontally. The ground surface is composed of damp, compacted earth or gravel, exhibiting scattered dry organic material, consistent with straw or hay. A black plastic tub is visible on the ground to the far left. Two irregular, flattened grey objects are present on the ground to the far right. The sky overhead is uniformly overcast.
