This is a drawing of a conflict scene. In the drawing, a central figure on horseback appears to be pointing or gesturing aggressively, while other figures on the ground seem to be engaged in a chaotic struggle or altercation. The scene is set against a dark background with stark contrasts. The drawing uses a strong, linear style to define the characters and actions within the composition. The lower part of the artwork includes the inscription "No se convienen."
