About this work

This painting depicts two distinct scenes. On the front, a bishop is shown wearing a red robe and a white hat, holding a staff in his right hand. He is set against a dark background. On the reverse side, an angel is shown wearing a green robe, with a white cloth draped over his left arm. The angel is also set against a dark background. The painting is characterized by its use of dark colors, which creates a sense of depth and contrast. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall mood of the painting. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
