This drawing shows three stone arches with bright, flat colors. The big arch at the top has angels and a lamb inside a glowing circle. Smaller arches on the sides show people in simple scenes—one with a group under an arch, another with figures around a table. The colors are mostly muted, but the angels’ robes and the lamb’s circle pop in red, blue, and gold. The text below each small arch names different stories, like "Elias" and "Johannes-døber." These likely refer to biblical figures, but the focus here is on the clean lines and bold shapes. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow in a different way.
