This painting shows a serious-looking man in bright red robes holding a scroll. He wears a fancy gold crown and sits on a throne. Around him are other figures in dark robes, some holding objects. The background is mostly gold, and the whole scene looks old and slightly faded. The man in the middle is the biggest figure, which makes him stand out. The scroll he holds has writing on it, but it’s hard to read. Look up composition next to see how artists arrange figures in religious paintings.
