About this work

This painting shows three figures in a faded, golden background. The central figure wears a red robe and a halo, holding what looks like a book or scroll. To their left and right are two smaller figures, also with halos, dressed in red and blue robes. The paint is worn and cracked, making the colors look dull and the details hard to see. The central figure’s halo has a cross on it, which is common in religious art. The writing at the top looks like old Greek letters, possibly a name or title. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists create depth with lines.
