The artwork features a portrait of Augusta Sophia within a decorative frame of roses, and a scene depicting Apollo driving his chariot across a cloud-filled sky. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and measures 109 mm in height and 134 mm in width. The juxtaposition of the portrait with the mythological scene creates a visually intriguing composition that exemplifies Chodowiecki's mastery of etching.
