About this work

This painting shows two serious-looking men standing side by side. The one on the left wears a red robe, a gold necklace with a cross, and holds a long book. The one on the right has a yellow-green robe and makes a peace sign with his right hand. Both have halos and look like they’re part of a religious scene. The painting is a bit faded, with some paint chipped away, especially around the edges. The colors are bright but worn, like old clothes. The names above their heads are written in an old script. If you like this style, look up Realism next—it’s all about showing things as they truly appear.
