Dim temple interior where a robed elder in pink raises his arms toward an infant held by a woman in blue, with a kneeling woman lit in the foreground.

Simeon's Song of Praise

A candlelit scene in a stone temple: an elderly man in a rose-pink robe raises his arms toward an infant held by a woman in blue, while a kneeling woman in an ornate gown is brightly lit in the foreground. Crowds stand in shadow on the steps, and a seated man in dark clothing watches from the lower right.
