DescriptionA line of draft horses stand in the snow in front of a two-story brick stable. There is a bas-relief of a pacing horse over the door and three three-dimensional sculptures of horses' heads. Signs on the building read: "Williams Bros. Horse Market" "Horses must be as represented or [money] re[fu]nded." Men in overcoats with whips stand at intervals behind the horses. A woman and a small girl wearing coats and hats stand at the right. A small dog, probably a terrier, is near them. Two ponies are at the far right.
