Visual Summary

Brief Description

A large, haloed figure above two smaller, crowned figures emerging from clouds

Detailed Description

A large, light-skinned figure with dark hair is depicted from the waist up, seated at the top of the composition. A large, circular, light-colored halo with radiating lines surrounds its head and upper body. The figure's right hand is raised with the palm facing outward and fingers extended upwards, while the left hand rests near its lap. It wears a reddish garment draped over one shoulder and a dark undergarment. Its face shows downcast eyes and a small red mark on its forehead. Below this central figure, two smaller, light-skinned figures emerge from a swirling mass of light brown and white clouds. Each of these figures also has a circular halo behind its head. The figure on the left has dark hair and wears a tall, dark, ornate crown with red and gold accents. Its hands are clasped together in front of its chest. The figure on the right also has dark hair and wears a similar ornate crown, which contains a small, golden, seated figure. This figure holds a small, dark object in its cupped hands. Both lower figures wear dark garments with red and gold details. The background behind the figures is a dark, faded black or deep blue. The main painted area is bordered by a thin orange-brown strip, then a wider blue fabric with a repeating pattern of light-colored circles and squares, and finally, gold and silver geometric patterns at the very top and bottom.
