This is a painting of an angelic figure standing over a defeated entity. The angelic figure is depicted in a victorious pose, holding a shield with the initials "IHS" inscribed on it. The defeated entity lies beneath, surrounded by vibrant orange and red hues. The celestial figure is garbed in intricate robes with highlights of green. Movement is conveyed through the dynamic lines and patterns within the wings and surrounding elements. The background contains abstract shapes and patterns. The stylistic approach resembles medieval religious iconography, emphasizing symbolic representation over realism.
