About this work
A dense, swirling composition in warm reds, browns and muted greens shows nude and draped figures arranged in a ring around a dark central opening of sky and water. A rider in a red cloak and helmet drives a team of horses across the upper section, while an older bearded figure in red drapery sits below a large pale sphere.
