Die Ausgießung des Heiligen Geistes

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, 1480/1490

The image shows a group of people seated closely together in a semi-circle around a central figure holding a book. The figures have simplified facial features and varied hair colors. The central figure wears a blue robe, while the others are dressed in different colors with halo-like shapes above their heads. Each person has a small flame above their head. The background features a stylized upper section with a dove-like bird spreading its wings. The scene is enclosed within a red and orange border, with a green floor and linear patterns indicating a wall in the background.
