Four standing male figures, three with halos, one with wings, in a monochrome image
Detailed Description
A monochrome image depicts four standing male figures arranged side-by-side against a plain background. From left to right, the first figure wears a tall, rounded hat and a long, patterned robe, holding a staff or sword-like object in his right hand. He has a beard and dark hair. The second figure, slightly taller, has a halo around his head, a long beard, and wears a dark, long-sleeved robe with lighter trim and a cross on his chest. His hands are positioned near his waist. The third figure, also with a halo, stands with large, feathered wings extending from his back. He has a long beard and hair, and wears a simple, draped garment that exposes parts of his chest and arms. He holds a rolled scroll in his left hand and raises his right hand with an open palm. His feet are bare. The fourth figure on the right has a halo, a long, dark, hooded robe, and a long beard. He holds a small cross in his left hand. Faint, unreadable text in an unidentifiable script is visible across the top edge of the image.
