The image depicts a figure on a rearing horse, holding a baton in their right hand. The person is in a seated position on the horse, wearing a flowing garment. Their facial features show determination, with a prominent nose and chin, and wavy hair, possibly under a plumed helmet or hat. The clothing appears to be a long coat or robe with a sash. Surrounding the figure is a landscape with soldiers in formation and on horseback, suggesting a battlefield setting. In the background to the left, there is a castle or fortified city atop a hill.
