a dark, tragic and atmospheric scene. A lone Mongol warrior in a lamellar leather armor and a fur lined helmet kneels beside the body of his dead horse on a vast, windswept steppe, one hand resting on the horse's neck and the other holding a broken curved sabre. The horse lies on its side with its mane spread across the ground, arrows sticking out of its flank and dark red blood soaking into the dust. The warrior's head is lowered, his face half hidden in shadow, with a torn banner and a snapped bow lying in the dirt beside him. Far behind him, a distant line of enemy riders with raised spears and a thin cloud of dust moves across the horizon. Crows circle overhead and loose dust blows across the ground in long streaks. The sky is a flat, heavy grey with a dim crimson sun hanging low. Wide composition, strong silhouette and heavy texture. The palette is black, grey, bone white and deep crimson, with a mournful atmosphere.
