This painting shows a central figure with a beard and a golden halo, holding a book. The figure wears a red robe with gold trim and a blue-green cloak. On either side are two smaller figures, one dressed in green and gold, the other in yellow. The background has faded gold patterns, and the edges look worn. The central figure holds a scroll with writing on it, which is unusual for a simple religious image. The painting’s colors are flat and bright, with no deep shadows. Look up *composition* to see how this style of grouping figures together works.
