A horizontally oriented lithograph in black ink on light gray paper depicts a chaotic battle. Centrally, an armored man with light skin charges toward our right, wielding a sword and shield. Surrounding him, figures wear feathered headdresses. To our left, warriors rush forward with raised weapons. To our right, figures fall to the ground or recoil. Thin, sketchy lines throughout define the frantic, overlapping figures and convey rapid movement against the plain, sparse background.
