In this painting, a winged figure with a spear stands over a fallen man. The winged figure wears a blue sleeve, a yellow tunic, and a red skirt, with a gold helmet and a flowing white cape. The fallen man lies on his back, wearing a dark cape and a headband. The background of the painting features a blue sky with white clouds, a green landscape, and a body of water. The overall scene depicts a dramatic moment of conflict between the two figures. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the work of Rafał Hadziewicz.
