About this work

This drawing shows a bright, busy scene with a mix of reds, greens, and golds. At the center, a man in a red robe rides a fiery chariot pulled by winged horses. Above him, angels float in the sky, and below, smaller figures reach upward. The edges are packed with flowers and swirling patterns. The text at the top reads "Sfântul Ilie," which means Saint Elias in Romanian. This suggests the scene is about a religious story. Next, look up the subject: saint to see how other artists have depicted holy figures.
