This painting shows a central figure with a golden halo, holding a small book and making a blessing gesture. The figure wears a red robe over a blue-green garment, with a staff in one hand. Around them, two smaller figures float in the sky, each also wearing halos. The central figure’s face is calm, with simple, flat colors and little shading. The background has faded but looks like a cloudy sky. This style of grouping figures is called *composition*—look that up next.
