About this work

This drawing shows five robed figures standing side by side. Each wears a golden halo and holds a long staff topped with a cross. Their clothes are bright red, blue, and gold, with intricate patterns. Behind them, a blue curtain frames a golden canopy with swirling shapes. Notice how the figures’ faces are simple and serious, with no background details. Their robes look like they’re made of different fabrics, with some shimmering like metal. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
