This painting shows a bearded man in bright red robes and a golden crown, holding a book and a scroll. Behind him, two smaller figures with halos stand on clouds, dressed in simple robes. The background is blue with gold stars, and the edges have a fancy, colorful border. The man’s face looks serious, and the writing around him is in an old script. The colors are bold—reds, golds, and blues—with lots of patterns on his clothes. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and space in religious paintings.
