In the foreground several fallen figures lie on the ground near broken wheels and scattered equipment, while marching drummers and uniformed soldiers with muskets are positioned slightly behind them, some playing and others aiming. Toward the middle ground mounted soldiers and figures on foot cluster around each other, with a few men gesturing or holding flags and weapons. Buildings with pitched, thatched roofs line the street on the right side, and a small archway or doorway is visible among them. On the left side more soldiers and banners extend into the background, and a wooden signpost rises above a tent and carts. The overall atmosphere is crowded and tumultuous, with smoke or haze in the sky above the town.
