About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long black robe with gold trim, holding her hands together. Behind her, a crucifixion scene has a figure on the cross and a bearded man below holding a staff. The background is bright red with green plants, gold ovals, and red-and-white stripes at the bottom. The woman looks like she’s praying, while the cross scene suggests a religious story. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading—just bright outlines. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching for another way artists create depth with lines.
