Brown drawing on aged paper depicts a chaotic scene. A semi-nude woman sits atop a chariot with one leg bent and the other extended. She holds a whip in one hand and grasps the side of the chariot with the other. A semi-nude man with wings lies on the ground to her right. The chariot's wheel is visible behind him. A winged horse-like creature, resembling a Pegasus, rears up on its hind legs to the woman's left. A nude man lies on the ground to her left. An owl perches on a tree branch above the scene. The woman's facial expression appears strained or focused. The drawing's lines and shading are detailed, with visible pencil or pen marks. Darker brown spots and discoloration are scattered across the paper.
