A winged angel in a flowing green robe sits at a harp, its wings spread behind it, placing this picture in the long tradition of angel musicians that runs through medieval manuscripts, church carvings and Renaissance painting. Harps were the instrument most often assigned to angels because they were associated with praise and the music of heaven, and artists used them to show the sacred as something audible as well as visible. The green robe is worth noticing, since green was a color of renewal and hope in Christian symbolism and gives the figure a gentle, earthy warmth against the usual gold and white of heavenly scenes.
