This painting depicts a prince riding in a chariot drawn by goats. The scene is set in a lush, green landscape with trees, hills, and a body of water in the background. The prince is dressed in an orange robe and sits on a cushioned seat, holding a long stick in his right hand. In the foreground, several people are shown, some of whom appear to be attending to the prince. A man in a yellow robe is standing on the left side of the painting, while another man in an orange robe is standing on the right side. There are also several animals present, including birds, deer, and a snake. The painting is characterized by its use of bright colors and intricate details, particularly in the depiction of the prince's clothing and the landscape. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
