The image shows a group of cavalry horses and riders. Two central figures are depicted dressed in uniform with helmets and plumed headdresses; one is mounted on a horse, while the other stands beside another horse, holding a sword at his side. Several horses and riders are seen behind them, fading into the background, creating a sense of depth and movement. The composition is detailed, capturing the musculature of the horses and the folds in the uniforms, while lines suggest the ground underfoot, adding realism to the scene.
