The image shows an aerial view of a gentle slope with a group of figures near the top. A person is leading four horses in a diagonal line from lower right to upper left. Two smaller figures are seen in the distance beside dark brush or trees. The artwork is created with fine lines resembling scratches, in monochrome shades of black and brown on a beige background, emphasizing the contrast between the figures and the landscape.
