En esta composición se reflejan los rasgos característicos de la obra de Lanceray: la precisión y la autenticidad de cada detalle: la ropa, el armamento, la raza y las costumbres de los caballos. El escultor no sólo supo plasmar fielmente los detalles de la vida cotidiana, sino también crear una imagen poética, verdaderamente artística.
