Small rectangular painting on tin of the archangel St. Michael. The angel is elaborately dressed in short green and orange pants, a blue shirt, and decorative boots. He has shoulder-length wavy brown hair upon which sits a blue helmet topped with green, red and white poms. A flowing red scarf surrounds his shoulders. Wings extend from his back and have black, red, white and blue feathers. He balances on his right leg, standing on a blue mount. In his right hand, which is held above his head, the angel carries a flaming branch, while in his left is a scale. The background of the painting is coloured brown, orange and yellow.
