Die Ausgießung des Heiligen Geistes

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, um 1490

The image shows several figures from the waist up, with a group seated on wooden benches. The central figure is a woman wearing a blue mantle over a white garment with a hood partially covering her hair, and her hands are clasped in front of her. Her facial features are stylized, with simple lines defining her eyes, nose, and mouth. Surrounding her are other figures with similar facial features, each adorned with golden halos. Their hair varies in length and style, rendered in light and dark shades. They are dressed in long robes of various colors, including red, green, and blue. Above the figures is a depiction of a white bird, likely a dove, amidst rays of gold lines, against a blue sky with swirling patterns. The background is a warm yellow color filled with more golden halos, showing a sense of gathering and unity.
