The man in armor stands on the left side, with his right hand on the figure's shoulder and his left hand on the hilt of his sword. To the right, a man kneels on one knee, holding a sword in his right hand and his cloak in his left hand. A man lies on the ground to the left, holding a staff in his right hand and a lantern lies nearby. In the background, several men in armor are gathered, some holding torches and others holding swords. A fence and a distant building are visible on the right side.
