This painting shows three figures in a cloudy, golden-red sky. The person on the right wears a yellow robe and a glowing halo, holding something in their hands. The middle figure sits with a green headscarf and a pale face, looking down. The person on the left is half-hidden in shadow, with a halo but faded features. The artist copied an older religious scene but painted it in softer, lighter colors. The clouds and robes blend into the background, making the figures stand out less than usual. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
