Old Testament Figures in Paradise

A lunette-shaped oil painting of robed figures gathered on clouds beneath a dark, luminous sky. A winged figure descends at upper left while a seated woman, a man in green, and a bearded elder in a rust-red cloak occupy the center and right. Soft light falls across the billowing clouds.
