This painting incorporates hierarchy of scale, meaning that the size or scale of the figure relates to its importance, as with the figure in the center of the painting. This technique does not lend itself to very realistic painting; however, this was not the goal of the artist. The objective of the painting was to hint toward the heavenly and the divine. Also, the gold background and the awkwardly placed foot of the angel closest to the figure in the center make this painting typical of its style.
