About this work

This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. The central figure floats above two others, one kneeling in yellow and blue, the other standing in orange. The background is packed with bold shapes—flowers, leaves, and swirling clouds in orange, blue, and green. The central figure holds a staff and has a halo, while the others gesture upward or hold objects. The painting looks hand-drawn and slightly rough, with thick black outlines. The colors are simple but bold, and the figures are stylized rather than realistic. It feels like it might be part of a religious tradition.
