    DescriptionIn the lower left corner of the image a boy sits on the ground with his legs in front of him and his arms behind holding his weight. The boy's feet extend into a cluster of lilies in full bloom. Above the flowers are two men, both wearing white robes, the figure on the left having both hands extended out. A yellow glow emanates behind the two men. The entire work is bordered by a geometric pattern with an open book in the top center and open metal plates open in the bottom center.
