A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a towering, skeletal horse seen in profile with spindly legs. Two blindfolded men in military dress ride the animal; the rear figure extends his arms. In the lower third, a crowd huddles beneath the horse's belly, including a woman holding a child. To the right, a man wields a whip. Dark, hatched shading surrounds them. Handwritten text reads "Dictatorship" and "Gropper."
