The image depicts a man on horseback, facing forward in a commanding pose. He has a pointed mustache and a goatee, shoulder-length curly hair, and wears elaborate armor with a cape. He holds a long baton. Army encampments with tents and troops surround the horse. Above to the left, there is a decorative oval with inscriptions. The backdrop shows rolling clouds in the sky, adding to the dramatic scene.
