Man Pulling a Horse into a Stall

John Singer Sargent, 1918

The image depicts a sketch of three men and a horse. On the left, a man in a hat stands behind the horse, leading it forward. The horse is in a dynamic walking stance. In the center, another man is in front of the horse, pulling on a rope attached to its bridle. On the right, a third man holds a long object and appears to be giving instructions. The men's faces are not detailed. The sketch is done in pencil with shading for depth. The background shows minimal details of an indoor environment.
