About this work

This image shows five figures dressed in bright red robes, standing close together. Their faces are simple and flat, with big eyes and straight hair. Above them, a hand reaches down from a glowing, cloudy sky, holding what looks like a scroll. The background is dark with bright yellow circles that might be halos or suns. The figures seem to be singing or praying, with one person holding a white object. The red robes stand out against the dark, making them the focus. The hand from the sky looks like it’s blessing or giving them something important. If you like this style, check out *cross-hatching* for another way artists create depth with lines.
