About this work

In the painting, a boat is shown on a body of water. There are five people in the boat, and an angel is lying on the side of the boat. The people are dressed in robes, and the angel is wearing a yellow robe. The background is a blue sky with clouds. The people in the boat seem to be traveling to a destination. The angel appears to be guiding them. The colors used in the painting are muted, with shades of blue and brown dominating the scene. This painting reminds me of the work of artist Germán Hernández Amores.
