About this work

This painting shows three figures standing side by side. The two on the ends wear golden halos, red robes, and green sleeves. One holds a red flower cluster; the other holds a small model of a building. The center figure has wings, a golden crown with crosses, and a blue-and-white patterned robe. Above them floats a cloud with a triangle and an eye. The background is a flat blue with faded gold writing. The two winged figures look like angels, but the center one is different—it’s often called an archangel. The writing at the top names the two outer figures, but the center one isn’t labeled here. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
