Composition in white and earthy. Tangled and loose lines. Prancing horse occupying almost the entire height of the support. He faces, prancing with stretched head up and to the right, a little thrown back, with mane blowing to the left. He is with the front legs raised and bent, with the legs toward the belly. Hind legs support your body weight. Tangled lines at the height of the back. Scribbles on the right. Plain background.
