The image is a triptych with different scenes. Left panel: Two figures standing and kneeling facing each other. Both wear coats, knee-length breeches, and tricorn hats, in front of an ornate patterned wall. Middle panel: Two figures, one standing and gesturing, the other seated and pointing. Both wear elaborate coats and hats with faint figures and signs of combat behind them in a smoky setting. Right panel: A person on horseback with a cocked hat, handing an object to a standing man. Soldiers with spears stand in formation in the background.
