About this work

This drawing shows a robed man with a golden halo holding a small child. The man wears a crown and fancy clothes, while the child kneels, reaching up toward him. Bright red flowers and leaves fill the background, and the painting looks a bit faded. The child’s gesture suggests blessing or healing, which fits the title’s hint of stopping a plague. The simple shapes and bold colors make it feel old but clear. Next, look up leaf to see how artists used plants in religious art.
