A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a column of symmetrical motifs against a cream background. At the base, a winged sphinx with light skin tone faces forward. Above, floral arrangements and wheat stalks alternate with medallions featuring figures and a slender amphora. A diamond motif rests near the top. Muted reds, blues, and greens are applied in thin, delicate layers, with fine leaves reaching toward our left and right along the central axis.
