A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a central figure with luminous, golden skin seated beneath a domed crimson canopy. Thick, sweeping brushstrokes define her cerulean-striped mantle and ruby-red bodice. To the left, an azure-hued figure in flowing golden robes and a red hat stands facing her. On the right, an ochre-skinned attendant in amethyst drapery stands in profile. Dramatic lighting and silver accents lend a classical air to the composition.
