Two vertical panels show robed figures, attendants, a tree, and two goats
Detailed Description
This artwork consists of two vertical panels, presented side-by-side, featuring a muted color palette dominated by browns, greens, and teal. The left panel depicts two figures against a dark brown background. In the upper left, a tree with white blossoms and green leaves emerges from behind light, swirling clouds. Centrally, a large, bald figure with a circular halo behind his head is seated, leaning forward and looking down to his left. He wears a brown and teal robe and has a stern, wrinkled expression, appearing to hold a rectangular object in his hands. To his lower left, a smaller, bald figure kneels, dressed in a light brown robe, looking up at the larger figure while holding a small, indistinct object. The right panel also features figures against a dark, textured background that suggests distant mountains or clouds in the upper portion. A large, bald figure with a circular halo is positioned centrally, leaning forward and down, looking towards the right with a slight smile. He wears a brown and teal robe similar to the figure in the left panel. To his right, a smaller figure with dark hair and dark robes stands, holding a red tray containing green items. This figure looks towards the large, robed individual. At the bottom of the panel, two small, light-colored goats are visible; one stands on its hind legs, while the other lies on the ground.
