About this work

This small framed drawing shows two people standing side by side, both with serious faces and halos. The person on the left has a beard and wears a yellow and orange robe, while the one on the right has long hair and a similar outfit. Between them is a small donkey with a rider, and above them float bright orange flowers against a blue sky. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading. The writing at the top looks like an old script, possibly a name or title. The donkey and rider at the bottom might be a key detail—this kind of scene often tells a story from religious tradition. Check out leaf to see how flowers like these were sometimes used in old religious art.
