This painting shows a winged figure holding a sword in one hand and a set of scales in the other. The figure wears a golden halo, a red tunic with gold patterns, green pants, and blue boots. The background is plain with a faded blue-gray color, and there’s a small table with a red object on it. The figure’s name is written in Greek at the top: *Archangel Michael*. The brushstrokes are thick in some places, giving the colors texture. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
