Dynamic battle scene of the 18th century, in which an army advances towards a walled city. In the foreground, two foreshortened horses are rearing up and facing their riders, who are brandishing their swords with an energetic gesture. Other horsemen, close to the city gates, raise a cloud of dust that envelops them and emphasises the brutality of the skirmish.
