Description

Painting shows an angel in human form, colourful wings slightly spread behind him. The dress is colonial in style, with an elaborate black and gold coat over a shirt with voluminous white sleeves and wide lace at the collar and cuffs. A green tunic shows through the coat’s open front. A long red, black, and gold cape falls to the angel’s left. His legs are covered in pink stockings tied below the knee with green ribbon, and the shoes are small, brown, and have round toes and a pink bow. A wide-brimmed hat sits on top of the angel’s curled brown hair and is adorned with ribbons and 3 colourful feathers. The angel holds a long rifle in his right hand, and a staff in his uplifted left. The background is shaded red and brown. The back of the canvas is painted a thin brown.
