Description
This is a comission I had to do based on Leighton, Frederic - Perseus On Pegasus Hastening To the Rescue of Andromeda painting

It shows Perseus on Pegasus wearing the winged sandals and holding Medusa's head ! He is heading to rescue Andromeda from not getting sacrificed to Poseidon's sea creature !
A brief story of the myth

Perseus was returning from having slain the Gorgon Medusa, he found Andromeda and slew Cetus by turning him to stone. He set her free, and married her in spite of Andromeda having been previously promised to her uncle Phineus. At the wedding a quarrel took place between the rivals, and Phineus was turned to stone by the sight of the Gorgon's head
