The large horse standing four-square and its neck elegantly turning towards the right, the saddle in the buff with remnants of polychrome, the body with an even straw glaze while the head is glazed a deep amber orange; the groom with feet spread in a strong stance, one arm outstretched, and his face bearing a meticulous expression.
