About this work

This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. At the top, a white-robed person with outstretched arms is floating above a yellow background. Below, two standing figures in orange robes with green sleeves face the floating figure. Their hands are clasped, and they wear simple head coverings. The background has a mix of orange leaves and faded writing. The floating figure’s arms are raised in a common religious pose. The two standing figures look like they’re praying or showing respect. The painting feels old and slightly worn, with some colors faded over time. If you like this style, look up festoon to see how artists use decorative leaf patterns in other works.
