This old panel shows five solemn figures in gold halos against a dark, faded background. The central figure holds a book with gold lettering, while the others stand in a line, dressed in simple robes with dotted borders. The colors are mostly dull reds, blues, and golds, but the paint looks worn and cracked. Notice how the figures are stiff and flat, with no real depth or movement. The gold halos and dotted robes suggest these are holy or important people. If you like this style, look up composition to see how old religious art was arranged.
