About this work

This painting shows three robed men standing side by side. The central figure has a long beard, a golden crown, and a red-and-yellow striped robe. He holds a golden staff and makes a hand gesture. The other two men wear simpler crowns and robes, with one holding a scroll. The background is bright blue with gold stars, and the edges have patterns of flowers and geometric shapes. Notice how the figures’ faces are flat and stylized, with no shadows. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and golds—with lots of decoration on their clothes and the border. Want to see more like this?
