The scene presents the results of a battle, with the survivors giving first aid to the wounded, carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades, and a friar blessing the dying. Officers on horseback count the victims and honor them. The scene is set in an open area near the banks of a river, with rugged mountain slopes in the background.
