The image depicts a black and white illustration of a gladiator battle. A large crowd surrounds an oval-shaped arena. The arena has a sandy floor and stone walls. Gladiators, some on foot and some on horseback, are engaged in combat. In the background, there are ruins and a mountain with smoke rising from it. The sky appears clear. The crowd is seated on tiered seating, with some people holding parasols. The illustration style is detailed, with many lines and shading used to create depth and texture. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
