About this work

This painting shows five solemn figures standing in a line, all dressed in bright robes of red, yellow, and blue. Behind them is a large cross made of patchwork fabrics in red, blue, and white. At the bottom, a smaller scene shows a body lying on a cloth with two people kneeling beside it. The figures have simple, almost flat faces and their hands are clasped together. The sky above them is filled with floating orange circles that look like suns or halos. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
