A dynamic struggle unfolds across the panel, with three main figures locked in action at the center of the composition. Directly opposing him, a female figure in a crested helmet, her body twisting with energy, presses against his chest with a powerful gesture, her drapery swirling around her. To the left, another figure is sketched in with a raised arm, contributing to the overall sense of movement and conflict.

Loose, energetic lines define the swirling forms of clouds and drapery, and the ground is visible through the transparent washes of brown and ochre paint. The composition is tightly packed, with the figures entangled in a diagonal thrust from left to right, amplifying the drama of the encounter. Every gesture and contour is suggested with swift, confident strokes, leaving much of the wooden panel exposed to heighten the immediacy of the scene.

A faintly sketched figure lies on the ground at the lower right, with limbs splayed and head turned upward, partly obscured by loose brushwork. To the left edge, another figure is barely outlined, with a raised arm and flowing lines suggesting rapid movement or retreat. A helmet with a pronounced crest is visible on the central female figure, catching the strongest highlight from the overhead light source.

The upper left corner is filled with smoky, cloud-like forms rendered in thin, transparent washes, blending into the wood grain. Touches of blue-gray appear in the background clouds, contrasting with the warmer ochres and browns of the figures and ground. The energetic, sketchy lines are especially visible along the lower edge, where the artist’s hand is evident in rapid, looping marks that leave much of the panel exposed.
