About this work

This painting shows a scene with several people. A woman in a red robe is at the top, with her arms out. Below her, a man in a white robe is being helped by another man in a red robe. There are more people around them, and some angels in the air. The colors are mostly dark, with some lighter areas. The woman at the top seems to be the main focus. She's looking down at the man in white, and her arms are out like she's helping him. The man in red is also looking at the man in white, and he seems to be supporting him. This painting is by Juan de Valdés Leal.
