In centre, Achilles supports Penthesilea as she faints. Around them is a confusion of battle, although they are flanked by two dominant diagonal groups of men reaching up to attack Amazons on horseback. Horses and men, dead and wounded, fill the space beneath. At each end stands an Amazon with arm raised.
