About this work

This painting shows a robed figure holding a small book, standing against a plain background. The figure wears a blue and gold robe with a green sash, and their face is calm with a slight smile. Behind them, two winged shapes in red and green seem to float, with the letters "CHM" written above their heads. The colors are flat and bright, with no shading to show depth. The figure’s hands and robe have simple lines, almost like a sketch. The painting looks old, with some wear on the edges. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
