This is a drawing of a cavalry charge with horses and riders in motion. The figures are detailed with lines and shading, showing movement and tension. One rider is mid-gallop on a rearing horse on the right, and another horse appears to have fallen in the lower section. The riders wear military attire and hold swords or sabers aloft. Sparse vegetation fills the background.
