The Four and Twenty Elders Casting Their Crowns Before the Throne

A watercolor and ink drawing shows a bearded, robed figure enthroned in radiant light at the center, arms outstretched, with a rainbow arching above. Winged, kneeling figures lean toward the throne at the lower corners, while a row of seven flame-topped heads lines the bottom edge and eyed wings frame the sides.
