In the middle ground to the left, there are more riders on horseback moving across the field toward a cluster of buildings that include a thatched structure and a taller tower-like building with a small flag on top. The landscape is detailed with tall grasses and clumps of vegetation in the foreground, a line of trees along the horizon at the right, and scattered bushes and smaller trees near the buildings, all rendered with fine cross-hatched lines and stippling. The sky appears empty and pale above the scene.
