A skeletal knight in black armor rides a white horse across a field of clouds at twilight. They carry a black flag bearing a white rose. Before them, figures of all stations—king, bishop, maiden, child—kneel or fall. The sun sets (or rises) between two towers in the distance. White roses bloom where the horse has passed. Transformation, not fear, pervades the scene.
