A young woman in a voluminous red dress stands at the center, gazing upward with her body turned slightly to the left. Her right arm is raised and holds a long palm frond, while her left hand rests by her side, the gesture creating a sense of poised movement. A dragon crouches low at her feet, its brown, scaly body twisting behind her and its mouth open to reveal sharp teeth and a lolling tongue.

The dragon’s tail loops upward behind the woman, its tip curling in the air and drawing attention to the dynamic interaction between the figures. The ground beneath the figures is painted in warm ochres and browns, suggesting a rocky terrain that anchors the composition. A soft, golden light falls across the woman’s red and gray garments, highlighting the folds of her dress and the delicate modeling of her face and hands.

The background is filled with pale blue and creamy clouds, painted with loose, swirling brushstrokes that create a sense of open sky and atmosphere. The upper left corner of the painting is dominated by the dragon’s curling tail, which nearly touches the edge of the image. The lower right corner shows a smooth, ochre-colored rock that slopes gently downward.

The woman’s hair is styled in loose waves and catches the light along the top of her head. The folds of her gray sleeve are rendered with soft, broad strokes that suggest the weight and texture of the fabric. A subtle shadow falls behind the woman, cast onto the ground and the dragon’s body.

The sky in the upper right is painted with pale, creamy tones and faint wisps of cloud, leaving much of the panel exposed. The dragon’s claws are splayed on the ground, with visible highlights on the knuckles and nails.
