About this subject

A black-and-white illustration of a group of travelers moving through a steep, rocky gorge: a hooded woman rides a white horse at the center, flanked by men carrying rifles, with a dog and a figure stooping in the foreground and more people and a pack animal behind. Bare cliffs and dead tree trunks frame the scene under a cloudy sky.
