A black and white drawing of a chariot with two horses and four people. The chariot has two wheels and is pulled by two horses with long tails and manes, adorned with decorative harnesses and blinders. The horses are harnessed side by side. Two people wearing togas are positioned behind the horses, one on the left holding a whip and one on the right holding a ring or crown. Two people wearing armor ride in the chariot. The person sitting on the left side holds a scepter, and the person on the right holds the reins. The drawing is on a beige background with some text on either side. The beige background resembles aged paper. The text on the pages is in Latin.
