This painting shows four winged figures sitting together on a red cloth. The central figure wears a blue robe and a golden halo, holding a round object. Two angels kneel on either side, dressed in gold and green robes, also with halos. In the background, two women stand in doorways, and buildings with red roofs and gold trim fill the scene. The gold leaf background and halos suggest these figures are religious. The central figure looks like a saint, and the tree in the top right corner adds a natural touch to the otherwise structured scene. Look up saint to see how these figures connect to religious stories.
