A vertically oriented woodcut in black ink depicts two dark, silhouetted figures on horseback facing away toward a bright central space. Both riders wear three-cornered hats; the figure on the left carries a slung rifle, while the figure on the right holds a rifle vertically. Coarse, striated lines texture the dark silhouettes and white background, creating a rugged, high-contrast scene framed by dark, rough-edged borders.
