In the middle distance a fortified town with towers, walls, and clustered buildings sits atop a rise, connected by a bridge. Several groups of soldiers on horseback and on foot appear across the scene, some carrying long lances and banners, others clustered near a square, crenellated building with arched windows and a small church-like structure. In the foreground riders in armor and plumed helmets move along a path beside dense foliage and a pond with floating birds. The composition is rendered with fine linework and hatching, emphasizing textures of stone, wood, vegetation, and the figures’ garments and horses.
