The painting readapts the chase. In one corner is a uniformed figure straddling a flashy yellow-pinkish car while being trailed by Saïda. The scene of the vehicle with its contorted flattened figure is a stark contrast to that of the leopard who shimmers mid gallop at the other end of the image. She is faint and incomplete; her spotty rosettes fading into the body, front legs losing definition. What seems like a vanishing act is not so much a disappearance as it is her melding with the ground.

Like a moving image, the two scenes form a predicament. The characters are traveling quickly, both towards and away from each other on a velodrome course brushed in pearly streaks; ostensibly a loop continuing somewhere outside the frame.
