The top of the image features a decorative border with a central oval frame containing a man's portrait surrounded by weapons. The border also includes drapery on either side of the central frame. In the foreground, a river runs across the bottom with a coat of arms centered at the bottom. On the river, people and horses are shown in various activities. The landscape in the background shows mountains, hills, and a town on the left side. On the right side, a cliff rises with a castle on top and another town at its base. The scene is filled with numerous figures engaged in combat.
