This work is compositionally close to Study of Angels (1988, gouache on board, Private Collection), with the study very likely a preparatory piece to this more finished composition painted in the same year. Both works are executed in gouache and feature three winged figures: a central figure with upturned hands, flanked by two further figures with arms raised to chest height. The study, carried out on squared paper, uses a predominantly yellow and pink palette, this composition employs a deeper and contrasting grey, orange and purple palette. The subject matter reflects the biblical figures and motifs in Feibusch's many mural commissions for churches and cathedrals.
