About this work

This painting shows a group of people in bright, flat colors against a gold background. At the top, a figure with a halo stands on a cloud, holding a cross and a flag. Below, another person kneels on a stone, looking up. Four others stand or sit around them, dressed in simple robes. The edges have a red-and-green patterned border. The text at the top and bottom hints this is a religious scene, likely from the Bible. The year "1852" is written on the stone, matching the FACTS. Look up composition to see how artists arrange figures to tell a story.
