Three elaborately dressed figures, one with a polearm, stand amidst colorful clouds
Detailed Description
An image depicts three male figures against a background of stylized clouds and a dark blue sky. The figures are positioned in the lower-middle section of the image, standing on a green ground that is also surrounded by clouds. The central figure is the largest and most prominent, positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center. He has a dark complexion, a full beard, and a stern expression. He wears elaborate green and gold armor with flowing sashes and a blue head covering. He holds a long, light blue polearm with a red, feathery tassel in his right hand, resting it vertically. A golden halo or disc is behind his head. To his left and slightly behind him is a second figure, smaller than the central one. This figure has a dark brown complexion, a dark beard, and a fierce expression. He wears dark armor with gold accents and a red helmet. To the left of the central figure and slightly in front is the third figure, the smallest of the three. He has a lighter complexion, a small beard, and a more serene expression. He wears red and gold robes with intricate patterns and a red cap. His hands are clasped together in front of his chest. All three figures wear ornate boots. The background consists of numerous stylized clouds in shades of light green, pink, and white, with dark blue areas visible between them, suggesting a sky. The clouds extend from the top to the bottom of the image, with a denser concentration around the figures. The bottom portion of the image shows a green ground plane also surrounded by clouds. The entire composition is framed by a dark blue border and an outer gold border.
