This is a drawing of mounted figures and sketchy faces. The drawing features two central figures riding horses in an animated posture. The individuals are wearing ornate hats or helmets, and the horses are drawn with expressive lines. To the left of the central figures, there are loosely sketched faces. The use of flowing lines and shading gives the image a sense of energy.
