Description
Composition in light shades of ochre, yellow, orange, blue, green, rose, white and shades earthy, violet, red and gray. Smooth texture. Group of men against blue background with geometric shapes and arc snapping up the composition. Representation six apostles, standing, facing left 3/4, all beard and mustache, faces and hands cleanly and feet in blue tones. They wear long, loose clothing, long sleeves with draping marked by geometrism and transparency effects. In the foreground, to the left, an apostle with arms crossed at chest height holding book. Behind him, in the background, an apostle with his face to the right and on the left hand on the chest. On the third level, on the right behind the second apostle, another with his face up and on the left hand on the left shoulder of the one who is in front. Behind these three figures, one sees from the other three apostles: two facing right and a 3/4 on the right. Floor with geometrical shapes in shades of rose and violet suggesting projected shadows. The arc concludes that the composition is represented ochre.
