This is a drawing of a scene involving an ancient battle or destruction. Two central figures, one dressed as a soldier with a helmet and armor and the other as an elderly man with a cloak, are in the middle of an interaction. Groups of kneeling figures surround them, with a city or fortress in ruins in the background. Soldiers on horseback and other figures are positioned further back, and there is text in a stylized script below the scene.
