The image depicts a person riding a rearing horse. The rider holds a baton and sits upright in the saddle. The person's features are not detailed, but they have long hair flowing from under a feathered helmet. The rider wears period-appropriate attire that suggests armor or a military uniform with a cape. The horse is shown in a lively pose, adding movement to the image. In the background is a vast landscape with a battlefield scene and a fortified structure or city on a hill.
