    5. 8 sentence paragraph describing what you think is going on in the painting you chose:
    In this picture, it looks like they are in heaven. There is a woman sitting on a thrown. This woman is being crowned by two men. The two men are wearing robes and staffs. There is a dove above her head, symbolizing peace. There are children playing instruments around them. There is two naked babies at the bottoms of the clouds that everybody is on. At the very bottom, behind them are what look likes to be peasants begging up to the clouds.
