This is a drawing of a group of soldiers traveling through a rocky landscape with horses and hunting dogs. There are soldiers in armor, some on foot and others on horseback, moving through the rugged terrain. In the foreground, two hunting dogs walk alongside the soldiers. The background includes dense foliage on a cliffside, a distant structure resembling a fortress, and atmospheric clouds with light rays breaking through. The scene captures the movement and determination of the traveling army, with detailed character expressions and rendering of clothing, armor, and weaponry.
