Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting features a central seated figure flanked by two smaller standing figures, all within an elaborate, multi-tiered architectural structure. A thin red border frames the entire composition. The central figure, depicted with light brown skin and dark hair, sits cross-legged on a golden throne, facing forward. Its hands are raised in a gesture, and it wears a light-colored garment with a white dot pattern. A red and gold halo-like arch frames its head. On either side of the central figure, two smaller, standing figures with similar skin tones and patterned garments face inward, their hands in gestures. The architectural setting is elaborately decorated, with a large golden canopy above the central figure featuring intricate patterns and what appear to be stylized animals or birds in the upper corners. The background behind the figures and within the architectural elements is primarily a deep blue. Below the central throne, the base of the structure includes decorative panels. On the lower left, two blue fish are depicted vertically. On the lower right, a red and white geometric pattern with four arms extending from a central point, each arm bent at a right angle, is visible. The artwork uses a palette of blue, red, gold, brown, and white, with strong outlines defining the forms.
