Combat of a Greek and a Turk

The painting depicts a chaotic scene of two men engaged in combat. A man on horseback, wearing a blue and white striped shirt, a red vest with gold trim, and a headscarf, holds a curved sword in his right hand and grabs the wrist of a man on the ground with his left. The man on the ground, dressed in a white shirt and a dark jacket with fur trim, has dark hair and reaches up with his right hand. A white horse, rearing on its hind legs, wears a bridle and saddle with gold accents. The background shows a rocky hillside with a body of water and a cityscape in the distance. A discarded red hat and a gun lie on the ground. The man on horseback wears a red boot with a curled spur.
