This silkscreen print depicts a man in a dark red coat on a white horse surrounded by soldiers. The man wears a black bicorn hat and has a sword at his right side. He faces the viewer as his horse throws its head back with its mouth open. The soldiers around this figure are abstracted shapes in brown with tall grey hats. Their wide white eyes stand out from the dark background. The figures are surrounded by tall grasses. The image is surrounded by a wide white margin, with the chop mark of the print shop, Workshop Inc. in the lower left corner.
