A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with medium skin tone and a dark mustache on a rearing white horse. Wearing a turban and red and gold vest, he raises a curved sword toward a man lying on the ground. The fallen man, with medium-light skin tone, wears a dark vest and white pleated skirt. A dark cliff rises behind them, while a town sits by the sea in the distant right.
