Three figures hold lances or pikes in different stances. They are dressed in historical armor with feathered helmets, depicted in a side view. The drawing is in a simple, monochromatic style with clean lines and minimal shading. The figures appear poised and balanced, as if in practice or drill. Text at the bottom includes "Cum Privilegio Reg." and "Irael excudit."
