In the upper image, a dwarf hunchback in a costume resembling Spanish military uniform of the 16th century walks to the right, holding in his right hand a banner on which is engraved the title of the series. He is looking back over his shoulder at another figure in a similar period costume, who follows him while beating a large drum. In the lower image, two similarly dressed dwarf hunchbacks face each other in a posture suggesting readiness for a fight. The figure in the foreground holds his pike at the ready, while his companion in the background rests his on left shoulder
