About this work

This painting shows two figures in bright, flat colors against dark backgrounds. The top figure wears a golden crown and orange robes, holding an open book with writing that looks like an old script. Behind them are two smaller figures, one with a cross and the other holding a scroll. Below, a woman in blue and black drapes kneels, her hands clasped, with a crucified man in the background. The book’s text and the cross suggest this is a religious scene, likely tied to Christian traditions. The figures’ stiff poses and bold outlines give it a simple, symbolic feel. Look up latin cross next to see how it’s used in religious art.
