The image depicts a black and white drawing of two people and two animals in a dark setting. The people are on the left side, one behind the other. The person at the back wears a head covering, their face obscured, and holds a long stick or spear. The person in front also wears a head covering; their face is partially visible. They hold a long spear with both hands, and it pierces the body of a tiger below. The tiger lies on its side, with its head facing left and mouth open, revealing teeth. A horse's head and body are to the right of the tiger; the horse appears to be rearing up. The background is dark and shadowy, with some lighter areas suggesting movement or smoke. The overall scene suggests a dramatic and intense moment.
