About this work

This drawing shows two men on horseback in a battle scene. One rider wears a red cloak and golden halo, while the other has a white horse and darker armor. A fallen figure lies on the ground, and a blue bird perches nearby. The background has a golden glow with swirling shapes and text in what looks like an old script. The bright colors and bold outlines stand out, even though the scene looks chaotic. The halos suggest these riders are holy figures, not regular soldiers.
