The painting depicts a scene with a man on horseback and another man on foot. The man on horseback wears an orange tunic and pink pants, sits on a white horse with red legs, and holds a sword in his right hand. The horse faces right, has a long tail, and appears to be mid-stride. The man on foot wears an orange tunic and blue pants, holds a sword in his right hand, and a black shield in his left hand. He appears to be running. A third man lies on the ground, faces down, and has a sword in his back. The background includes a hill with trees and a rocky outcropping, a white building, and a body of water. A small stream runs through the bottom right corner, with lily pads and a bird. Two additional birds are on the grass. The painting has a brown border and is set against a white background.
