The man on the ground wears a helmet and a jacket. A horse's head protrudes from the right side. The horse's head appears to be emerging from a pile of bodies. There are two other figures on horseback behind the central figures. The drawing has a rectangular border and the words "Siempre sucede" are written below it. The drawing is on a white background with a raised rectangular border around it. The image appears to be a plate from "The Disasters of War" by Francisco de Goya.
