The painting depicts a scene with two chariots, one on each side, facing each other. The left chariot is pulled by a white horse and features a figure standing on it, while the right chariot is pulled by a creature with a long neck and tail, and has a figure standing on it as well. Both chariots are surrounded by people in various poses. The background of the painting is dark, with some trees visible behind the chariots. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears to be one of celebration or triumph. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Apollonio di Giovanni.
