This is an oil painting depicting a historical event in the Plaza Mayor, Madrid, Spain. The scene is set in a large, open square surrounded by tall, multi-story buildings with numerous windows and balconies. The buildings are rendered in warm tones of pink and ochre, with dark roofs and architectural details. The sky above is a muted, cloudy gray, suggesting either an overcast day or atmospheric perspective.

The square itself is filled with activity. In the foreground, a crowd of spectators stands or sits, observing the events. They are dressed in period clothing, including hats, tunics, and cloaks in various colors. Many are holding poles or staffs. Behind the spectators, the main focus of the painting is a large gathering of horsemen and horses. The horsemen are also in elaborate historical attire, some wearing helmets and ornate armor. They are arranged in formations, with some groups appearing to be participating in a joust or tournament, as indicated by the presence of lances and shields.

Several distinct groups of horsemen are visible. Some are lined up, while others are in motion, either riding at a gallop or standing in a parade-like formation. There are also some individuals on foot scattered throughout the square, including attendants and perhaps participants preparing for the event. In the background, more buildings and a dense crowd of people and horses are visible, suggesting a significant public spectacle. The overall impression is of a grand historical event or festival taking place in a prominent urban setting.
