Engraving, part of a set of 12 prints of rectangular shape, executed over black backgrounds, and depicting combats and triumphs, likely influenced by the combat scenes created by German masters such as Georg Pencz and the Beham brothers. This print represents a combat between horsemen and foot soldiers, recalling compositions by the Beham brothers, particularly because of the presence of a tree trunk, which is being used as an arm as one of the foot soldiers as he attacks one of the knights, riding his horse towards him on the left.
