Last Judgment

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body depiction of three figures. The central figure is seated with arms raised and has elongated facial features with long dark hair. They wear a robe with a red and white patterned garment and have a halo around their head. This figure holds a sword and a white lily with green leaves. To the left, a kneeling figure is shown in profile, draped in a long blue cloak that covers most of their body, also adorned with a halo. On the right, another kneeling figure faces forward and appears to be draped in earthy-toned garments, also with a halo. Both kneeling figures have similar facial structures with beards and facial lines. The background is a simple landscape with a green ground and a blue sky.
