This old painting shows a group of people in stiff, flat poses. The figures stand in two rows, with one person in the center wearing a bright red robe and raising a hand. The background has a dark, cracked look with a faint building and gold accents. Colors are dull—greens, browns, and golds—but some faces have traces of blue and red. The paint is thick in spots, and the surface looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The writing at the top is faded but still legible in parts. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this is applied.
