About this work

This drawing shows two figures standing side by side. The one on the left wears a long orange robe with white cross-hatching patterns and holds a golden object. The figure on the right is dressed in bright orange robes with blue and yellow stripes, holding a small book with a cross on it. Above them, a sun with rays glows, and colorful flowers float in the sky. The figures look like religious symbols, with the one on the right wearing a crown and holding a book. The bright colors and simple shapes make it feel like a folk-style drawing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
