About this work

Three bearded men stand side by side, dressed in bright red robes with gold trim. Their faces are pale, with serious expressions, and each wears a golden crown. The man in the middle holds a green book with a cross on it, while the man on the left holds a long green staff. All three have halos behind their heads, and their hands are crossed over their chests. The gold and red colors pop against the dark background, making them look important. Their robes have small crosses stitched into the fabric, and the middle figure’s book looks like a holy text. This style of drawing is common in religious art—check out cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
