About this work

This painting shows Jesus Christ in the center, surrounded by 12 smaller portraits of apostles. Jesus is wearing a green robe and a halo, and he's holding a book. The apostles are arranged in two columns on either side of Jesus, each with their own halo. The painting is done in a style that looks like it's from a long time ago. The colors are muted, and the lines are delicate. It's clear that the artist took a lot of care in creating this piece.
