About this work

This drawing shows three figures in bright colors. The person on the left wears a crown and red robes, holding a cross. The middle figure stands next to a tall yellow cross, dressed in gold and red. The figure on the right sits on a throne, also in red robes, with one hand raised and a book in the other. The text at the top is in another language, and the year "1890" is written in the corner. The figures look stiff and flat, with bold outlines and simple patterns on their clothes. Look up saint to learn more about why these figures might be important.
