This watercolor shows three figures in a dreamy, cloudy sky. On the left, a robed person with a golden halo points toward a central figure standing in shallow water. That figure has a glowing blue circle above their head and a dove flying out of it. To the right, another robed figure kneels, half-hidden by a rocky cliff. The central figure’s body is painted in loose, blended strokes, almost like a sketch. The colors are soft—greens, blues, and earthy tones—with some areas looking faded. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
