# Long description

This is a colour image of an oil painting. The walls of a city can be seen in the background to the right. In the foreground, to the left, a young man in a plumed helmet and body armour pins a man to the ground with his foot. His shield is strapped to his left arm and in his right hand is a sword pointing towards the defeated man. The young man on the ground holds his head back and his right arm out with his palm upwards in front of the victor. Two figures can be seen in the air above them. A female figure with a child by her leg, reclines in the top-left corner behind the victorious soldier; the other female to the top right above the defeated man, scurries away. An owl can be seen between them, shedding feathers from its outspread wings.
