Five Figure and Group Sketches, Including Two Battling Equestrains, and Dead Warior (from Sketchbook)
The image depicts a pencil sketch on gray paper. The sketch features five figures, including two on horseback battling, and one lying on the ground. The two equestrians are in the center and upper right of the sketch; the one on the left has their arm outstretched, while the other appears to hold a weapon. The horse on the left rears up on its hind legs. A fourth figure, possibly a man, is drawn toward the bottom left; and another figure, possibly on horseback, is toward the bottom center. The sketch is drawn in a loose and expressive style with many lines and minimal shading. The background of the sketch is plain gray paper with some darker spots and marks.
