Sistine Chapel lunettes - Rehoboam, Abijah is a 1511 fresco by Michelangelo, a High Renaissance work, held at Vatican Museums.
This painting shows two figures, a man and a woman, sitting on either side of a rectangular sign. The man on the left wears a red robe over a yellow tunic, while the woman on the right is dressed in a pink robe. Above them, the sign reads "ROBOAM ABIAS" in black letters. The figures are set against a light-colored background, with an arched window below the sign. The overall style is characteristic of Renaissance art, with attention to detail and realism.
