About this work

This print shows three busy scenes with soldiers and leaders on horseback. Flags with red circles fly everywhere. In the middle, a fancy carriage rolls past rows of troops. The background has distant mountains and trees. Notice how the people wear bright, old-fashioned uniforms. The artist packed a lot of action into each small panel.
