About this work

This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. On the left, a man in a red robe holds a large wooden cross. In the middle, a seated figure with a long beard wears gold and green robes, holding a staff topped with a cross. Above them floats a dove inside a red circle. The background is a pale blue sky with gold stars and clouds. The figures look stiff and symbolic, with bold outlines and little shading. The red robe and cross stand out sharply against the lighter colors. The dove is a common symbol in religious art. Look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and symbols in paintings.
