Detailed Description
The artwork is a horizontal composition on a light brown, aged surface, depicting four figures arranged from left to right. The leftmost figure is seated centrally on an elaborate, multi-tiered throne decorated with petal-like shapes. This figure wears a red robe draped over one shoulder, revealing a lighter undergarment, and has dark hair. A large, multi-layered halo in shades of red and brown encircles the figure's head and upper body. The throne is decorated with green, red, and brown petal-like shapes and stands on a base with three visible legs. Above this figure, a decorative canopy-like element with scalloped edges in green and red is visible. To the right of the seated figure, a smaller standing figure is depicted. This figure wears a red garment with green accents and has hands clasped in front of the chest. A red halo surrounds its head. Further to the right, a third figure stands, facing slightly left. This figure wears a long red robe over a darker garment and holds a pink flower with multiple petals in its left hand. A multi-layered halo in shades of blue and red encircles its head. The rightmost figure also stands, facing slightly left. This figure wears a light-colored upper garment with red and blue accents, and a darker lower garment. It holds a long, thin staff in its right hand, which is raised. A multi-layered halo in shades of blue and red surrounds its head. The figures are rendered with outlines and areas of flat color, primarily in muted reds, greens, blues, and browns.
