About this work

This drawing shows a large angel-like figure in the center with wings and a serious face, holding what looks like a scroll. Around it are smaller portraits of people, all facing forward with flat, dark outlines. Some figures wear robes, others crowns, and a few hold books or objects. The angel’s face is the biggest and most detailed, standing out against the simpler, faded portraits. The background is packed with tiny squares that look like empty frames or missing pieces.
