Drawing of a large battle or procession, many figures on horseback, a village, temple
A monochrome drawing depicts a sprawling scene filled with numerous figures. The composition is horizontally oriented. Large groups of figures, many mounted on horses, dominate the central and right portions of the image. These groups appear to be in motion, possibly forming a procession or engaging in a battle. Figures on horseback are shown in various postures, some holding spears or banners. Smaller groups of figures on foot are interspersed among the mounted figures, with some appearing to be fallen or lying on the ground. A horizontal band, possibly a river or a path, traverses the middle of the drawing, separating some of the groups. In the upper left, a small village consists of several simple, rectangular buildings with peaked roofs. Above and to the right of the village, a larger, multi-tiered structure with a prominent spire, resembling a temple, stands on a raised area. Stylized cloud formations frame the top edge. The drawing is rendered with fine, unshaded lines, creating a detailed representation. Visible creases run vertically and horizontally across the paper.
