About this work

This 1857 painting by Cristiano Banti shows a bearded man in a purple velvet robe standing before a seated churchman in a black habit and white collar, who points to a document on a red-draped table with an inkwell and quill. A second cleric and a hooded seated figure watch from the shadowed room, with a gothic triptych and a crucifix on the wall behind them.
