About this work

This painting shows two men in bright orange robes, standing side by side. They’re holding up a small white building with a red roof, like a tiny church. Behind them, a blue sky with clouds and orange leaves on a tree adds color. The men have beards and halos, and their faces look calm. The writing at the top is in an old script, but it’s hard to read. The painting feels flat, with bold colors and simple shapes. Look up composition to see how artists arrange people and objects in a scene.
