About this work

This old panel shows four figures in flat, gold-leaf backgrounds. On the left, a woman in dark blue holds a small child in green and gold. Next to her, a bearded man in a crown holds a small book. In the center, a robed figure with a long beard floats above a wavy line, holding a yellow boat. Below them, a pale man is nailed to a cross, with a woman in green and gold standing to his right. The painting looks worn, with faded colors and cracks showing through. The gold background and simple shapes give it a very old, sacred feel. If you like this style, look up cult object.
