About this work

This painting shows three figures against a bright blue sky with white stars. The central figure has a white face, a green robe, and a wreath of green leaves on their head. To their right, a bearded man in a red robe holds a small object. On the left, three smaller figures stand in an arched doorway, dressed in simple robes. The central figure’s hand gesture looks like a blessing. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene feel flat and stylized. Look up *halo* to see how artists use this symbol in religious art.
