About this work

This wooden panel shows eight stiff, golden-haloed figures arranged in two rows. The top row stands calmly, hands open or clasped, dressed in simple robes of brown and gold. The bottom row is more active—one figure kneels, another raises a hand as if speaking, and a third holds a long staff. The background is dark, divided into small squares that make the figures look like they’re framed in a grid. Notice how the faces are almost identical, with serious expressions and long beards. The halos mark them as holy or important, but their exact roles aren’t clear from the image alone. If you’re curious about how these figures were painted, look up *cross-hatching*.
