Brief Description

Figures on horseback and on foot, one carrying a woman, against a burning city

Detailed Description

A large painting depicts multiple figures in motion against a backdrop of a burning city. In the upper right, a city is engulfed in flames, with thick, dark smoke billowing into a sky of deep blues and grays, tinged with orange from the fire. A dappled gray and white horse gallops towards the left. A man with a red turban and green tunic is seated on the horse, holding a woman draped in gold and red fabric, her head tilted back with closed eyes. Beside the horse, another man, wearing a red cap, blue tunic, and red trousers, stands on the ground, supporting the woman's body. His gaze is directed towards the right side of the canvas. To the far right, a figure in white armor and a helmet is visible on horseback, engaged in what appears to be a struggle with another indistinct figure. The foreground shows a dark, earthy ground with hints of green. In the lower left, a round, drum-like object lies on its side, and near the center, a red garment and a sword lie on the ground. Dark colors dominate the overall palette, with strong contrasts between the darker background and the brighter clothing of the figures.
