This painting by A. Ramanan features a dramatic and mythical scene. The central figure is a warrior riding a white horse, both depicted with a strong sense of motion and vitality. The warrior, with long dark hair and a determined expression, is bare-chested and appears to be gripping the horse's reins firmly.
Above the warrior, a large eagle is prominently featured, its wings spread wide and talons extended as if it's either landing on or taking off from the warrior's shoulders. The eagle's feathers are detailed with shades of brown and hints of gold, adding to the dynamic composition of the painting.
The background is a vibrant, swirling mix of colors, primarily purples, blues, and golds, creating an impression of a sky filled with clouds at either dawn or dusk. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, emphasizing the otherworldly and powerful nature of the scene.
The frame of the painting is a metallic gold with a dark inner border, which complements the rich colors of the artwork. The signature "A.Ramanan" is visible in the bottom right corner of the painting. The overall feel of the painting is one of strength, myth, and heroism, capturing a moment of intense action and grandeur.
