Armored figures on horseback and on foot engaged in a battle scene within a landscape
Detailed Description
The painting depicts a crowded battle scene set in a natural landscape. In the foreground, a skirmish unfolds with multiple figures on horseback and several fallen figures on the ground. On the far right, a figure on a white horse, wearing a helmet and a flowing red cloak, holds a spear. To their left, a central group of figures on horseback are engaged in combat; one figure in a green tunic on a brown horse points a spear downwards, while another on a white horse, wearing a helmet and raising a sword, is visible. Many figures wear helmets and carry shields, with some wielding spears or swords. The horses are depicted in shades of white, brown, and grey. On the left side, two large, dark-trunked trees with dense, brown-green canopies are in the foreground, partially obscuring more mounted figures beneath them. In the distant left, a light-colored building with a dome and other structures is visible on a hill. The background features a rolling landscape with green hills and darker trees under a light blue and grey sky. The overall color palette is earthy, with strong accents of red, gold, and white on the figures and their attire.
