About this work
At the center, a woman in a white robe floats upward while a winged figure places a crown on her head.
This photo shows a group of people in a dramatic scene. At the center, a woman in a white robe floats upward while a winged figure places a crown on her head. Around her, other figures—some in robes, others with wings—watch or gesture. The background blends dark clouds with a distant landscape.
The signature at the bottom reads "Cornelius Scut?" but the photo itself is labeled with a 1931 date and the name "1931_person." This suggests it might be a study or a reproduction rather than the original painting.
