This painting shows two figures with golden halos standing side by side. The one on the left has wings and wears a red robe with black stripes, holding a round object with Greek letters. The figure on the right holds a tall staff and wears armor over a red tunic, with white boots and a belt. The background is a deep blue with scattered orange circles and leaf shapes. Notice how the figures’ faces are simple and flat, with no shading. The artist used clean lines and bright colors to keep things clear and bold. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build detail with lines.
