A bald figure on a spotted deer looks down at a kneeling person holding a blue object
Detailed Description
The vertical painting depicts two human figures and a spotted animal against a dark, muted background. A large, bald figure with light skin occupies the upper left and central portion of the image. This figure wears flowing robes primarily in shades of green and blue, with gold trim and patterns. A large, circular, gold-colored halo surrounds the figure's head. Large, dark, circular earrings are suspended from the figure's elongated earlobes. The figure is seated on a four-legged animal that resembles a deer, with a brown body covered in irregular white spots. The figure's gaze is directed downwards and to the right. Below and to the right of the main figure, a smaller human figure kneels on the ground, facing upwards towards the seated figure. This kneeling figure wears a loose red robe with a light-colored sash around the waist and has light skin and dark hair or a head covering. The kneeling figure holds a dark blue, rectangular object in both hands, presenting it towards the seated figure. The background is a dark, earthy brown with faint, indistinct shapes that suggest trees or rocky terrain, particularly in the upper half of the painting. The overall color palette is subdued, with the red and green robes providing the most vibrant hues.
