Francisco de Zurbarán and Workshop

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows three people sitting together. Two individuals on the left are women, likely nuns, with light skin, wearing black habits over tan head coverings and long-sleeved white robes. One of the women holds a book. The person on the right is an older man with light skin and a white beard, wearing a light red cloak over a long white robe. He holds a book and gestures towards the women. In the background on the left, there is a tan cityscape with buildings and a cloudy sky. On the right is a dark wall with a red hat hanging behind the man. The top of the painting is curved.
