About this work

This painting shows nine small scenes arranged in three rows. Each scene has people dressed in old-fashioned robes, some with golden halos. They’re doing things like sitting at tables, holding babies, or standing near buildings. The colors are mostly dark reds, blues, and golds, and the paint looks faded in spots. Notice how every figure has a similar flat style—faces are simple, with little shading. The scenes seem to tell a story, but the details are worn away over time. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
