About this work

This painting shows a central figure wearing a bright red robe and green cloak, holding a scroll and a golden object. Around them are two smaller figures in white robes, each holding a cross. The background is gold with red and green patterns, and the edges have writing in a foreign script. The central figure has a glowing halo behind their head, which is a common symbol in religious art. The scroll they hold is covered in text, likely important words. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
