A cluttered, cartoon-like vertical painting is overlaid with thick swirls and frenetic gold hashes. In the center, a pink-cheeked haloed figure kneels amid splatters of blue and cream. To the left, a man reading is obscured by hazy gray flecks. On the right, a cluster of haloed, grinning figures leans forward against a domed building. Below, a fountain sits between fuzzy flowering trees, all enclosed by an ornate, paint-flecked floral border.
