The image shows a group of figures engaged in combat. There is a tree with thick branches on the right side, with its leaves creating a canopy. In the center, soldiers and horses are in a skirmish, some on horseback and one figure drawing a weapon. A fallen horse and rider are on the ground. The landscape is mountainous with rocky cliffs and tall coniferous trees. The style is detailed with intricate use of line and shading, with a monochromatic color palette of black and white.
