Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a battle scene with a mountainous landscape in the background. The scene is drawn in black and white, with a sepia tone. In the foreground, there are many people on horseback and on foot, some of whom are armed with bows, spears, and swords. Some individuals are fighting, while others appear to be fleeing or fallen to the ground. There are also trees and bushes scattered throughout the area. In the midground, there is a line of tents and buildings, with people standing or sitting near them. Smoke rises from various points in the scene. The background features a range of mountains under a cloudy sky. At the top center of the image, there is a block of Chinese text written in black ink, with one line of red text to the left. The overall atmosphere suggests a chaotic and intense battle scene.
