A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts nine cream-colored figures rendered to resemble a raised stone relief against a flat tan background. At the far left, a woman balances a floral basket over clouds. Beside her, a winged figure gazes at a woman seated in a two-wheeled chariot. Two winged putti lead the chariot toward the right, where four figures dance in a line with joined hands. Soft shadows define the sculpted forms.
