This drawing shows a bearded man in bright red robes holding a book and a scroll. Two small figures with wings stand on either side of him, looking upward. The background is a mix of bold colors—greens, blues, and gold—with a crown above the man’s head and a cross on his chest. The figures’ faces are simple, almost flat, and the colors are flat too, with no shading. The man’s robes have a pattern made of small lines, almost like stitching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like these.
