This painting shows two bearded men in bright red robes and gold headpieces. One stands holding a book, the other sits with a scroll. The background has simple buildings and a sky with wavy lines. The colors are flat—reds, golds, and blues—with no shading. Notice the tiny crosses hidden in their robes and the red flowers above their heads. These details were added carefully, almost like a secret code. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
