This painting depicts a chariot being pulled by griffins against a vibrant blue background. The scene includes an intricately designed chariot with a robed figure guiding two winged griffins. The composition is framed by decorative trees with stylized leaves in brown and yellow tones. The style suggests influences from ancient Greek and Art Deco art forms. The painting is reminiscent of the neoclassical works of John Flaxman.
