This image shows four golden figures standing in front of a tall wooden cross. The two on the left wear long robes and crowns, while the two on the right have beards, robes, and crowns too. Above the cross, six winged faces with halos float in the sky, and the background is dark blue with gold decorations. The figures are arranged in a way that draws your eyes to the cross at the center. Their hands are clasped in prayer, and the gold leaf shines against the dark background. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create depth.
