Description

Painting of an angel in a natural landscape. The angel wears a black tunic vividly decorated with golden swirls and patters and long lace cuffs. A long red cloak reaches to the ground, and is also decorated with gold detailing. A multi coloured scarf is attached with a broach at the angel’s neck and a pink belt can be seen at the waist. Tall brown boots with open toes are on his feet. In front of his slightly spread wings, the angel points upwards with his left hand. In his right he holds a large cornucopia full of flowers. The background shows a large expanse of sky, and at the bottom, mountains, foliage, and a flock of brightly coloured birds.
