Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting depicts a central, dark-skinned, bearded figure with dark hair and a halo, seated on a red and green throne. The figure wears flowing golden robes, with bare feet visible. The right hand is raised in a gesture, while the left hand holds an open book with several lines of white text. The figure is enclosed within a dark green, almond-shaped enclosure, which contains numerous small, winged figures with red faces, some appearing to have multiple wings. Beyond this enclosure, the background is predominantly red. In the four corners, larger, red-winged figures are depicted, some with multiple wings, looking towards the center. Above the central figure's head, "IC XC" is written in white. The open book held by the figure contains text in white, including "СУДИТЕ ПРАВЕДНЫМ СУДОМ" (Judge with righteous judgment). The dominant colors are gold, dark green, red, and brown for skin tones, with white accents for text and halos.
