About this piece

In this peculiar scene, a stable boy is seen sleeping on the ground in a horse stable, clutching a pitchfork and a curry comb. Behind him stands a horse, viewed from the rear, turning its head towards the viewer. To the right, a witch leans over a wall, waving a burning torch. On the wall hangs a shield adorned with a unicorn.
