This painting shows two figures riding a white cow through a bright, green landscape. The man has blue skin, a golden crown, and a red-and-yellow outfit, while the woman wears a dark blue dress with gold patterns. Trees with white flowers line the background, and a distant village sits by a river. The woman’s face glows with a soft halo, a common way to show holy figures in older art. The colors are bold and flat, with no deep shadows—everything looks bright and clear. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
