A winged figure with a halo and a boy in a red cloak walk through a landscape
Detailed Description
Two figures walk across a landscape under a light blue sky. On the left, a tall, winged figure, appearing to be an angel, faces right and holds the hand of a smaller boy. The winged figure has light blonde hair, a golden halo, and large golden wings. They wear a long, light-colored tunic with a patterned hem and red hose. In their left hand, the winged figure holds a small, dark, fish-like object. The boy, to the right of the winged figure, also has light blonde hair and a smaller golden halo. He wears a blue tunic, a flowing red cloak, and red hose, and carries a light-colored staff or sword in his right hand. Both figures walk towards the right, their gazes directed forward and slightly downward. The ground beneath them is a mottled brown and green. In the lower center, a small, light-colored, four-legged animal, possibly a dog or weasel, walks on the ground. The background features a rolling landscape with green hills, scattered dark green trees, and faint indications of buildings under a pale blue sky. The overall color palette is muted, with earthy tones dominating the landscape and brighter accents on the figures' clothing and halos.
