This is a drawing of a battle scene with a mythical element. The drawing depicts a chaotic battle scene filled with numerous figures, armed and in combat. One figure stands prominently in the center, gesturing. Another figure is clad in armor. A unique element in the drawing is the depiction of a goat riding a fish with a sprouting flower, positioned in the clouds above the battle. The composition is circular, drawn with light colors and fluid lines capturing movement and energy.
