About this work

This painting shows two robed figures standing on either side of a tall wooden cross. The man on the left has a beard and dark hair, wearing a red and green robe. The woman on the right has long green hair and a red robe with a gold headpiece. Above the cross, there are red flowers and green leaves, and the words "CONSTANTIN" and "ELENA" are written in white. The figures look calm and solemn, standing close to the cross. The bright colors and simple shapes make it feel like a religious scene meant to be clear and direct. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
