About this work

This looks like a faded drawing packed with small scenes. The center shows a robed figure with one arm raised, surrounded by a glowing red background. Around it, the drawing is split into 12 boxes, each with stiff, flat figures in simple poses—some standing, some praying, all outlined in bold black. The figures wear old-fashioned robes and halos, and the colors are mostly dull blues, reds, and golds, like it’s been exposed to light for a long time. The edges of the drawing are chipped, and the frame looks worn. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
