About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright red and gold robes, holding a long golden staff and a book. His face glows with a golden halo, and he stands between two smaller figures—one in green robes, the other in red hats. Behind him, a blue sky holds two simple buildings with pointed roofs. The man’s robes are detailed with patterns, and his hands are raised slightly, as if blessing or teaching. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to suggest depth. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
