Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular artwork depicting a biblical scene. A man with brown hair and a beard, wearing a long-sleeved black robe and no shoes, sits cross-legged on the right side of the bottom half of the artwork. He has an open book on the ground in front of him to his left. To his left and slightly in front, a man with a green robe and orange wings attached to his back kneels and serves food. To the left of the kneeling man, another man with orange wings attached to his back holds a bowl on both hands. Above them, three angels float on clouds. The angel on the left holds a green bowl. The angel in the middle floats on purple and orange wings and holds a purple bowl. The angel on the right wears a large feathered hat and holds a gold bowl. The background shows a green field with a tree, a rock formation, and grasses along the bottom. Two text boxes are at the top. The artwork has a thin gold border and red and gold stripes along the edges.
