About the artwork

A radiant angel stands at the centre of the composition and conveys calm and authority through his posture and appearance. The figure has balanced anatomical proportions and is depicted in a classical, upright pose: upper body leaning slightly forwards, raised, slightly spread wings and relaxed arms forming a neutral gesture. Facial features are clear and symmetrical, with a calm, neutral expression; the eyes are slightly downcast and the mouth is closed. The clothing consists of a simple, flowing tunic whose folds fall realistically and discreetly emphasise the body contours without excessive ornamentation.

The wings are detailed; individual rows of feathers are clearly recognisable, with gradual differences in size from the base to the tip. The textures are differentiated: soft feathers on the wings, smooth fabric on the robe, velvety skin on the face and hands. The light falls frontally and slightly elevated, creating clear, soft shadows and emphasising the relief effect of the sculpture. A bright glow surrounds the figure diffusely, without an exaggerated halo; the luminance is kept more homogeneous in order to maintain a natural presence.

The background of the picture is restrainedly neutral, slightly blurred to direct the focus onto the figure. The colour scheme remains muted and harmonious: predominantly light, warm tones for the skin and garments, cool accents in the shadow areas. Overall, the picture objectively conveys a figure of dignity and serenity, which appears neither pathetic nor overly sentimental, but rather shows a clear, serene presence in a calm, balanced portrayal.
