Mounted rider raising a sword over a fallen man, engraving

A mounted rider in a white robe and cap raises a curved sword against a rocky, shadowed hillside, his horse decorated with an ornate saddle cloth. Below, a fallen man lies sprawled across the stony ground, and the scene is rendered in fine black-and-white engraving with the signature Doré at lower left.
