Brief Description
A central seated figure with a halo, flanked by two standing figures, on a dark scroll painting
Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features three figures against a dark background, framed by decorative borders. A large, light-skinned figure is seated centrally at the top, positioned on a dark, ornate throne. This figure wears a red robe draped over the left shoulder, leaving the right arm and chest exposed. The face has closed eyes. A golden halo encircles the head, and a larger golden mandorla surrounds the upper body. The figure holds a small, light-colored object in the left hand, resting on the lap, while the right arm extends downwards with an open hand. Below the central figure, two smaller, light-skinned figures stand symmetrically on either side of a dark, ornate structure resembling an altar. Both standing figures wear long, flowing robes in red, green, and gold, adorned with intricate patterns. Each has a smaller halo behind their head. The figure on the left holds a dark, possibly floral, object in both hands at chest level. The figure on the right holds a similar dark object. The background is a dark, textured field. To the right of the central figure, a column of light-colored vertical text is visible. The painting is bordered by a narrow, patterned reddish-brown strip, then a wider light brown border with a subtle pattern, and finally by plain light-colored fabric on the far left and right.
