This is a drawing of a battle scene involving mounted soldiers. The image captures soldiers on horseback engaged in a skirmish. The central focus is on two horses rearing against each other. Weaponry such as swords and scimitars are raised and in use. The contours and shading enhance the musculature of the horses and details of the armor and attire, with intricate line work. The surrounding area appears cluttered with fallen figures and weapons.
