About this work

This painting is split into small boxes, each showing a different figure. The center figure is a bearded man in bright red and green robes, holding a book. Around him are other people, some holding crosses or crowns, all dressed in simple, colorful clothes. The background is dark, with gold borders around each box. The center figure’s name is written in Greek letters above him: "Nikolaos." The painting looks old, with some paint faded or scratched away. The figures all seem to be saints or holy people, judging by their crowns and crosses. Look up saint next to see who these figures might represent.
