A lady mounted upon a great warhorse, her cloak flying to the breeze, rests her hand upon the shoulder of a tall, bearded man in medieval attire, who stands leaning upon a heavy two-handed sword. At his feet is the body of a man, his foe, whom he has struck down in mortal combat, and who raises himself on his hands in a last dying effort.
