This drawing depicts a battle scene with soldiers on foot and horseback engaged in combat. In the background, there is a castle on a hill and a figure watching from the clouds above. The detailed composition conveys movement and drama through line work and hatching. The perspective and expressions of the figures capture the chaos of battle.
