This painting shows a group of people standing in two rows. The men on the left wear simple robes and hats, while the women on the right have long dresses and some hold staffs. In the center, an older man with a long beard stands between a younger man and woman, who are holding hands. Behind them is a building with a sign that reads "CAPPELLA S. IOSEPH." Notice how the colors are soft and blended, with earthy tones like browns, greens, and reds. The faces look calm, and the scene feels orderly, like a quiet moment in a church. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
