About this work

This painting is a drawing, divided into two scenes. The left scene shows a man in a white robe with an orange head covering, pointing upwards. He is surrounded by three other men, one of whom is kneeling and holding a baby. In the background, there is a cloudy sky with a figure reaching out from above. The right scene depicts a man in a brown robe and turban, touching the head of another man who is kneeling. Behind them, a woman in a white robe is standing with her hands clasped together. The background features an arched doorway and a staircase. The drawing's style and composition suggest a religious theme. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
