The Old Dragoons of 1850

The sculpture depicts a chaotic scene with several men on horseback. Three horses are visible, two of them rearing up on their hind legs. One horse is positioned on the left with its front legs extended backwards and its rear legs bent underneath its body. The horse on the right is rearing up, with its front legs extended forward and its head thrown back. A third horse is partially obscured. The men are dressed in military uniforms and appear to be engaged in combat. One man is holding a flagpole with a tattered flag. Another man is wielding a sword, while others hold rifles. The men and horses are positioned on a rocky base. The sculpture is made of dark metal, possibly bronze, and has a weathered appearance. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the sculpture.
