A bare-chested man with a halo, supported by two winged figures, one gazing down, one up
Detailed Description
Three figures are positioned against a dark, indistinct background. In the center, a bare-chested man with long, dark brown hair and a beard is seated, his head tilted downwards and eyes closed. A faint, reddish-orange glow encircles his head. His muscular torso and arms are prominently lit. A white cloth is draped around his lower body, and a larger piece of tan fabric covers his legs. Small red marks are visible on his right hand and just below his right rib cage. To the left, a younger-appearing figure with curly brown hair and a blue sash over a white garment supports the central man's left arm and chest. This figure looks down at the central man; its hands are clasped near the central man's chest. To the right, an older-appearing figure with dark, curly hair and visible wings supports the central man's right shoulder and arm. This figure wears a dark green or brown draped garment and gazes upwards. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the central figure and the left figure, while the right figure and the background remain in deeper shadow.
