    A multi-figure composition is presented on a tondo-format sheet. In the foreground, a lower-ranking officer of a supply train, wearing a cylindrical spiked helmet, is shown half-profile sitting on a white horse. Before him stands a peasant holding two buckets filled with water. In the background, behind him, a brown horse is shown held by the bridle by an officer invisible to the viewer. In the far background, houses standing in a row and a infantry regiment company are visible.
    The author's signature is located along the lower edge on the right: Zichy
