This is a painting of multiple people and horses in a tumultuous setting. There are armored men on horseback interacting with a man in the center who seems have fallen off a horse and on to the ground. The scene conveys movement and action, with contorted forms of both humans and animals. One horse rears into the air, while another leans forward with its back legs raised. At the top of the painting, a person with long hair emerges from the clouds. Rays of white light shine down from the opening in the clouds on to the people and horses.
