This painting shows six figures standing or sitting in four panels. The top left is a woman holding a small child, both with golden halos. The other three panels have men—some with wings, some holding objects like books or swords. All figures wear robes in red, blue, and gold. The background is dark, and the edges have a red and gold border. The woman and child look calm, while the men have serious expressions. One figure holds a scale, and another has a book with a cross on it. The colors are bright but flat, with no shadows. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
