This is a black and white woodcut engraving depicting a disturbing scene. The image is divided into two main sections. The upper section shows a pale horse standing in a stable-like structure. The horse appears gaunt and sickly, with prominent ribs. Two demonic figures are flanking the horse, seemingly tormenting it. One demon is wielding a spear or lance, while the other appears to be prodding the horse with a stick. The stable structure has ornate decorations and a patterned floor. The lower section depicts a naked man lying prone on the floor. He appears to be emaciated and lifeless, with a gaunt face and skeletal limbs. Several small, grotesque demons are tormenting him, pulling at his limbs and body. Scattered around him are pieces of armor, suggesting he may have been a knight or soldier. A small table or platform in the foreground holds a book or tablet with the initials 'HB'. The overall style of the engraving is highly detailed and expressive, with strong contrasts between light and shadow. The scene is unsettling and evokes themes of suffering, torment, and mortality. The composition is symmetrical, with the horse and man forming the central focus of the image.
