This round painting shows a central figure holding a book, surrounded by 12 smaller scenes in pointed sections like a wheel. Each small scene has a person or group in simple, flat colors—some stand, some gesture, all framed by gold lines. The background is mostly white, with text in Greek letters along the edges. The central figure looks calm, while the smaller scenes around them seem to tell different stories, each in its own narrow space. The gold lines and text give it a church-like feel, like a stained-glass window. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
