What it depicts

A solitary winged angel kneels in prayer, bathed in pale light at the top of the frame, while beneath it a wall of orange pixelated flames rises out of darkness. The contrast between the calm, glowing figure above and the fire below gives the small painting a sombre, mystical, almost otherworldly atmosphere.
