This is a drawing of a chariot pulled by horses among clouds. The drawing is executed in a sketch-like manner with tonal variations primarily in brown ink. At the center of the drawing, there are brushstrokes depicting a chariot led by rearing horses. The scene is enclosed in an oval frame, giving it a theatrical presentation. Below the central scene, a figure is shown gesturing upward. The composition suggests a mythological or allegorical narrative, rendered with energetic lines and swirling compositions.
