Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical painting on a faded, brownish ground, showing significant wear and tear with areas of paint loss. At the top, a small, indistinct figure or decorative element is visible, positioned above a large, ornate canopy-like structure with flowing ribbons in muted reds and greens. Below this, a central figure is depicted seated with hands held together in front of its chest. This figure has a light-colored face, dark hair styled in a high bun, and a prominent, light-colored halo encircling its head. It wears a red upper garment over a darker, flowing robe, with long sleeves. Below the central figure, two larger figures are positioned. The figure on the left has a dark, bearded face and wears elaborate, multi-layered robes with hints of red and dark blue. To its right, a less distinct but similarly styled figure is visible, accompanied by a light-colored, lion-like animal. Both lower figures are surrounded by swirling cloud-like motifs and decorative elements in muted tones. The composition is vertical, with the central figure positioned in the middle, above the two larger figures.
