This grayscale print shows a group of people led by a man who is visible head to toe. This man stands confidently, holding the reins of a white horse. His facial features are serious, with a long mustache and short black hair. He is dressed in a white shirt and pants with sandals on his feet. In his hand, he holds a long-curved machete. Around him, several other men, also in white clothes and wearing wide-brimmed hats, are gathered close, wielding farming implements like scythes and hoes. Below the man and horse, the body of a man in dark clothes lays on the ground, a sword laying near him. The background is filled with thick, dark foliage.
