Visual Summary

Brief Description

A haloed figure in yellow and pink robes stands on a green dragon against a gold background

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular painting depicts a haloed figure standing on a green dragon against a gold background. The figure, positioned in the upper two-thirds of the composition, is shown in profile, facing right. They have light-toned skin and light-colored hair, which is partially covered by a simple band. A circular golden halo, adorned with a repeating floral pattern, encircles their head. The figure wears a long-sleeved yellow tunic over a pink garment, with a flowing red sash or piece of fabric draped over their left shoulder and arm. Their left hand holds a long, green, leaf-like object, while their right hand, held closer to their chest, grasps a small, red, berry-like object. Below the figure, a large, dark green, scaly dragon occupies the lower third of the painting. Its head is on the left, featuring a pointed snout and a visible eye, while its body extends towards the right with a spiky ridge along its back. The figure's feet are not visible, as they appear to be standing directly on the dragon's back. The entire background is a textured gold, showing signs of age with numerous fine cracks and areas of wear.
