Jean Damascene Sallusti

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a battle scene set in a mountainous landscape. The scene is rendered in shades of gray and brown. In the foreground, a group of horsemen are gathered on the left side, while others are scattered throughout the middle and right side of the image, some on horseback and others on foot. Some horses are rearing up or falling to the ground. Trees and bushes are scattered throughout the landscape, with large rocks and boulders protruding from the ground. In the background, a range of mountains stretches across the horizon under a cloudy sky. Chinese calligraphy is written vertically in the top-right corner of the image.
