God the Father in Glory

Attributed to Andrea Boscoli after Michelangelo

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a group of figures, with a central horizontal figure extending an arm forward. The figure has long flowing hair and a beard. There are other figures partially visible, including one with a distinct facial profile and another child-like figure on the right side. The figures are shown in the nude amidst cloud-like forms, creating a dynamic sense. The background is a light, monotone paper with delicately rendered outlines, void of color.
