About this work

This painting is packed into a wooden frame with bright colors and simple shapes. The center shows two women at a table with flowers, while around them are smaller scenes: a knight on horseback, a group of people in a town, and figures with halos. The background is flat blue, and the figures wear flowing robes in orange, green, and white. The writing around the figures looks like names or labels, which might be clues to who they’re meant to represent. The style is very flat and decorative, almost like a storybook. If you like this kind of detailed religious art, check out the inscription style used here.
