About this work

This painting shows two tall figures standing side by side, both wearing long robes with gold trim and red underlayers. Their faces are serious, with golden halos around their heads. The background is dark with faded patches, and the top has three oval shapes with writing in them. The figures look like they’re holding something in their hands, though it’s hard to tell what. The paint is worn in places, showing cracks and flakes. Next, look up *composition* to see how artists arrange figures in religious paintings.
