This is a drawing of a crowned figure standing before a blazing backdrop. The central figure, depicted from the back, appears to be nude except for a draped piece of cloth over one shoulder and a crown on their head. The figure has a muscular build and is standing with one arm extended outward. The background shows flames rising upwards. To the left, there is a structure that resembles an ancient temple or building and below it, a gathering of figures. The figure stands near a large overturned vessel or pot.
