About this work

This looks like an old wooden panel with painted figures. The center shows a seated person with a golden halo, surrounded by smaller figures. The colors are faded gold, red, and dark outlines. The edges are worn, and the paint is cracked in spots. The figures all have serious faces and halos, suggesting they’re holy. The writing around them looks like old script—maybe names or prayers. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next. It’s a drawing technique that uses lots of lines to create shading.
