This painting depicts a chaotic battle scene, with a large group of soldiers on horseback clashing in the center. The soldiers are dressed in armor and wielding swords, with some falling off their horses or lying on the ground. In the background, there are buildings and a body of water, suggesting a rural or coastal setting. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the armor and clothing of the soldiers. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of intensity and chaos, capturing the turmoil of the battle. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography, where you can see more works by the artist.
