A horizontally oriented lithograph in loose, sketchy black ink strokes on light paper depicts a chaotic battle. In the lower foreground, a tangle of fallen figures lies on the ground. Above them, armored soldiers with spears clash with indigenous warriors wearing feathered headpieces and shields. To the right, several figures occupy a raised platform in front of a tall wall. Overlapping forms and dense lines create frantic movement against a mostly blank background.
