About this work

This painting shows two tall, golden-framed panels side by side. Each features a bearded man in robes, standing against a dark background. The man on the left wears a greenish-blue cloak over a yellow tunic, holding a closed book. The man on the right has a bright red cloak over a yellow robe, making a blessing gesture with his right hand. Notice how the colors pop against the dark frame—red, yellow, and green stand out sharply. The gold trim looks like it could be real metal, adding a fancy touch. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this pair in person.
