The image shows a group of men on horseback in a formation. They are in profile view, with a leader on the left and followers to the right. The leader is calmly seated on his horse, wearing a cloak and a wide-brimmed hat. He has distinct facial features with a mustache and a serious expression. The followers are similarly dressed with hats, cloaks, and boots. Some horses are rearing up, while others are marching beside their riders. One follower is holding a long rod. In the background, distant structures like windmills can be seen under a blank sky. The foreground is a flat landscape with small vegetation.
