This image depicts a series of line drawings, appearing to represent scenes from what could be a historic or legendary narrative involving mounted warriors or samurai. The artwork is Asian in style, possibly Japanese, taking into consideration the attire of the figures and the stylistic execution typical of Japanese ink drawings. Each warrior is portrayed dynamically, with various poses capturing movement and action. They are illustrated riding horses, with some figures holding weapons like bows and arrows.
