Brief Description

Five haloed figures in an architectural setting, with a child being presented to an older man

Detailed Description

The rectangular panel depicts five figures within an architectural setting. The overall color palette is dominated by gold, deep reds, greens, and browns, with significant surface cracking and wear. On the far left, a standing male figure with a halo wears a dark tunic and a flowing red cloak. His right hand is raised, and his left hand holds a rolled scroll. Next to him, a female figure with a halo wears a dark green cloak over a lighter garment, holding an open scroll with visible, partially obscured text in a non-Latin script. To her right, a third female figure, also with a halo, wears a deep red cloak and faces right, extending her hands forward. In the right half of the composition, an older, bearded male figure with a halo, dressed in a red cloak, bends forward. He holds a small, swaddled infant figure in his arms, positioned towards the central female figure. The infant is wrapped in white cloth. Behind the figures, an architectural structure features a prominent dark brown archway supported by columns in the upper center. To the right of this archway, a green building with a small, dark, arched opening is visible. The ground beneath the figures is a mottled brown and gold. A decorative border, featuring alternating blue and red rectangular patterns on a gold background, frames the entire scene.
