About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in an orange robe with four arms, floating above six smaller figures. The sky behind him is blue with orange clouds and some faded writing. The smaller figures below look up at him, all wearing simple robes with halos. The floating man holds a golden object in his hands and points upward with two fingers. The colors are flat and bright, with no shading to show depth. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
