The composition is dominated by a figure on horseback charging into a crowd, seemingly holding a sword or weapon. The large and bold text "Morituri" dominates the upper portion of the artwork, suggesting a dramatic moment of impending doom. Groux's detailed use of line and hatch marks creates a sense of movement and energy throughout the work. This lithograph is an example of the Symbolist movement in art, which aimed to express emotion and ideas through evocative imagery. *Morituri* is a powerful and dramatic artwork that continues to captivate viewers with its emotional intensity.
