The painting depicts a scene from a Chinese historical drama. A young man in traditional Chinese armor is riding a white horse. He is wearing a golden helmet and a red cape, and he has a sword in his hand. The horse is galloping through a battlefield, and there are dead bodies and broken weapons strewn around. In the background, there is a city gate, and it is on fire. The painting is done in a realistic style, and the artist has used muted colors to create a sense of atmosphere.
