The main subject of the artwork is a vintage 1935 Duesenberg Model SJ Speedster, depicted in a stylish, high-angle perspective. The car features a long hood, prominent side-mounted exhaust pipes, and wide fenders finished in dark blue and tan. The driver's door is open, revealing a plush, orange-tan leather interior. An artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner near the front wheel.

Behind the car, the background transitions into a light, sketched scene of a royal procession. Elephants adorned with traditional ornate coverings are led by figures in formal regalia and turbans, suggesting a historical Indian setting. The style is that of a detailed ink and watercolour wash illustration, rendered in muted earth tones, soft blues, and subtle splashes of crimson.

To the right of the scene, there is a block of printed text with the header "Duesenberg Model SJ Speedster." The text describes the history of the vehicle, highlighting its unique English coachwork and its association with the Maharajah of Indore, adding context to the regal imagery depicted in the background illustration. The overall composition is balanced, contrasting the mechanical elegance of the car with the traditional atmosphere of the procession.
