About this work

This stained-glass-style painting shows a bright blue sky with three figures in the center. One figure in a robe holds a globe, another in a pink dress kneels, and a third stands with a halo. Below, three small naked children play with a sheep. The top has swirling patterns in green and gold, and the bottom has a Latin phrase. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to tell a story, likely from the Bible. The bright blues and golds make the scene feel light and holy. Look up Enckell, Magnus next to see more of his work.
