The painting is set in a time of war and chaos. The sky is filled with dark clouds. The once beautiful city is now in ruins, with many buildings destroyed and the streets deserted. The people are dressed in tattered clothing and look weary from the fighting. In the foreground of the painting, a group of soldiers is marching towards the city gates. They are armed with spears and shields and look ready for battle. Behind them, a large dragon is flying through the air. The dragon is breathing fire, and its scales are gleaming in the sunlight. The painting is full of movement and energy, and it captures the chaos and destruction of war.
