On the left panel, a richly dressed man in armor sits upright in a red, gold-trimmed wagon drawn by two white horses, his head crowned with a laurel wreath by a winged figure standing behind him. Three female figures, each robed in soft blue, gold, and white, are seated beside him, their gestures calm and composed, while a fourth woman stands at the front, holding the reins of the horses. The wagon moves across a pale, stony foreground, with a luminous river winding through a hilly landscape dotted with boats and distant settlements under a pale blue sky.

On the right panel, a female figure in a red and gold gown sits on a matching wagon, her posture dignified, accompanied by three women in muted blue, black, and white, and a small winged putto who stands at the front, guiding two brown unicorns. Behind the main group, another woman in a dark cloak stands, her face turned toward the seated figure, while the landscape continues seamlessly from the left, uniting both scenes with rolling hills and scattered buildings. The careful rendering of each figure’s features, the crisp outlines, and the smooth, almost enamel-like surface reflect the artist’s meticulous technique and attention to detail.

The composition is balanced, with each wagon moving toward the center, their wheels aligned along the same stony path, while the river and hills create a sense of depth and continuity across the panels. Small details, such as the intricate harnesses on the animals, the delicate folds of the garments, and the subtle play of light on armor and cloth, reveal the artist’s skill in combining clarity with richness. Piero della Francesca combines a strict approach to perspective, learned during his Florentine training, with a detailed, almost Flemish style of representation, achieving an effect of clarity and grandeur.
