About this work

This painting shows two figures standing side by side, dressed in long robes with bright red and blue stripes. Between them is a tall, yellow cross with green leaves and red flowers at the top. The background is mostly white with loose brushstrokes of color, and the figures have simple, flat faces with dark outlines. The cross looks like it’s made of wood, with a rough texture and simple shapes. The figures wear crowns, which might mean they’re important or royal. Look up festoon next to see how decorations like these were used in older art.
