The image shows a low-angle view of a military engagement. The composition features a line of horse-mounted soldiers on the horizon, with a landscape of hills and trees in the distance. The detailed pencil strokes depict textures on the ground and clothing, with a monochrome color palette of various shades of gray. In the foreground, a single soldier leads a group of infantry soldiers crouching behind a natural embankment. A rustic structure with a thatched roof is visible to the right.
