About this work

This painting shows two winged figures standing side by side, dressed in long robes with gold trim. Behind them, a dark blue sky holds smaller faces and shapes—some glowing, some floating. The figures’ faces are calm, with halos around their heads, and they each hold a staff. The smaller circles in the background, called *roundels*, often hold portraits of saints or holy scenes. These figures look like angels or saints, but their exact identities aren’t clear. If you like this style, check out *roundels* in other religious art.
