A vertically oriented gum tempera and gold painting depicts a landscape within an oval frame, at the center of which Sagittarius, a centaur with a medium skin tone, white horse body, and orange-red legs, faces left. Wearing a gold crown and holding a bow, the figure stands above two galloping horses. Rolling hills and a white castle fill the hazy background. A black border with gold floral patterns surrounds the ornate composition.
