Brief Description

An armored man stands over a reclining bearded man, with soldiers, a rearing horse, and a dog

Detailed Description

This black and white painting depicts an outdoor scene with multiple figures, a horse, and a dog. In the center, a man in elaborate armor and a flowing cloak stands, looking down and to his left. His right hand is on his hip, and his left hand gestures towards the ground, lifting his cloak slightly. To his left, an older, bearded man with long hair lies on the ground, propped up slightly, looking upwards. A long staff leans against him, and a small bowl rests on the ground nearby. Several other men, some in armor and holding spears, stand around the reclining man. To the right of the central figure, a large, light-colored horse rears up on its hind legs, its head turned towards the left. A young man holds the horse's bridle. Near the horse's front legs, a smaller figure, possibly a child, kneels and holds a piece of cloth. A dog is visible near the horse's front hooves. The background on the left is dark with indistinct foliage, while the right side features a lighter, open sky.
