You see a lamb in the center of the painting, surrounded by simple lines and colors. The lamb is the main focus, but what's interesting is the text on the back of the image. It's written in German and is a fragment from a bible manuscript. This suggests the artist was creating illustrations for a religious book. The simplicity of this image is notable, and to learn more about similar artwork, look up the technique: watercolor.
