About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in red robes holding a long staff, standing over a sick person lying on the ground. Around him, other figures—some with books, one with wings—watch or kneel. Bright red flowers and green leaves frame the scene, while small buildings peek from behind trees. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading. The central figure looks like a saint, often shown healing the sick in old religious art. The text above his head is in another language, likely naming him. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
