A portrait of a horse; the Oldenburg named Kranich, the favourite horse of Count Anton Günther von Oldenburg (* 1583, † 1667), is seen striding to the left, frontally from the side against a dark background, the long mane of the grey horse dragging on the ground, an arm clad in a red sleeve reaching into the picture space from the right holds the metre-long tail of the animal. The horse's hind leg is adorned with a large "A" in a wreath of leaves.
