The image depicts four drawings of skeletons on horseback. A green frame surrounds the four images. The top left drawing shows a dark-colored sketch of two skeletons on horseback. The top right drawing shows a light-colored sketch of two skeletons on horseback. The bottom left and right drawings are identical. The drawings show a black and white depiction of two skeletons on horseback playing trumpets. The skeletons are wearing old-fashioned military uniforms. They are holding their trumpets in their right hands and the reins in their left hands. Their horses are rearing up on their hind legs. There are trees behind the skeletons. The skeletons and horses appear to be moving quickly. The bottom left drawing has a signature in the bottom-right corner. The bottom right drawing has a small signature near the bottom center.
