A vertically oriented intricate print in black ink depicts a muscular horse facing our left, its rounded hindquarters and braided tail dominating the center. Behind the horse, a man with light skin wears patterned armor and a plumed helmet, holding a halberd. To our left stands a stone pillar, while ruined walls fill the background. The date 1505 is inscribed at the top, and an AD monogram marks the bottom right corner.
