Visual Summary

Brief Description

An oval painting depicts many figures, a radiant torch-bearer, and a white horse on clouds

Detailed Description

The oval-shaped painting shows numerous figures on clouds against a light blue sky. In the upper center, a radiant, youthful figure, possibly male, is depicted with a bright halo of light around his head, holding a torch aloft. He is seated on clouds, surrounded by smaller figures. Below him, a white horse, part of a chariot, rears up, guided by another figure. To the left of the central figures, a group of draped figures reclines on clouds, some appearing to hold agricultural implements. On the right side, a large, dark-winged figure, resembling an eagle, descends rapidly, accompanied by other smaller figures. Towards the bottom of the composition, a cluster of figures, some nude and some draped in orange and blue fabrics, are arranged on a large cloud formation. One prominent figure in the lower left holds a bundle of golden wheat stalks. A white swan is visible near the lower right. Small winged figures are interspersed throughout the clouds. The overall color palette features warm yellows, oranges, and browns for the figures and clouds, set against a cooler blue sky.
