The scene depicts a brown horse, harnessed to a carriage, standing on a coarse, paved surface in Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. The horse has a prominent white blaze on its forehead and wears a bridle with silver-colored studs, a metal chain bit, and a green fabric strap. A blue cloth hangs from the harness near its neck. Its body is equipped with a multi-component harness, including blue padding over its back, leather straps, ropes, and metal fittings, consistent with a working animal. A fresh pile of horse manure is visible on the pavement behind the horse's front legs. Two individuals, an adult and a child, are partially visible seated in the background within the horse-drawn carriage, which features a red canopy. A multi-story building with a vibrant turquoise-teal facade, white-framed windows, and balconies forms the distant background. Shadows are cast on the ground, indicating daylight conditions.
