Black and white sketch of a military scene. A man on horseback in center left holds a whip or sword in the air with his right arm. He wears a helmet with a feather and a dark uniform. The horse has a dark saddle and bridle. To the right, another man on horseback holds a whip. He faces left and rides a horse with a lighter coat. In center, a horse pulls a cart with wooden wheels. A man sits on the left side of the cart. Behind the cart, a line of men on horseback face right. Some hold weapons. A man on horseback in far background on left holds a long weapon. The background is white with minimal shading. Illegible cursive writing appears in the bottom right.
